I really like Costco's respect for people.
One thing to note is while "Costco pays the highest wages in the industry with benefits that are very good for any industry." to "workers" they don't pay the exorbitant executive pay most of the companies that scrimp on paying non-executives. As I have said before I don't believe you can take executives seriously on claims they believe in respect for people when they pay themselves like nobles and workers like serfs.
The difference between real respect for people and just words is evident at places like Costco and Trader Joe's. Customer's and owners benefit from organization that truly practice respect for people. Related: Focus on Customers and Employees - Respect for People
