Sara Yule

Proudly Serving: Lawtons #2569, Lower Sackville, NS

Position: Front Store Manager

Core Value: Stay Real

As a manager, Sara Yule is the type of boss who inspires loyalty from her employees. She treats other people as well as she wants to be treated. “Always be warm and welcoming, keep confidential information private, and everybody has to be trained well; if it’s not done right it’s on me,” she said. When training employees, she’ll either give them the answer to a question, or ideally ask what they think and let them give her an answer. “I want to empower them to do their best without a lot of direction from me,” she said. “I give them the tools, they just have to use them.” After 32 years with Sobeys, Sara is still proud when former employees come back to thank her for their training. “Take those values with you wherever you go,” she said of her former colleagues. “Sara is amazing at her job,” wrote one employee. “She allowed me to grow as a person, gain confidence, and feel welcomed and comfortable in my workplace.”
