Retail giant Walmart announced a string of new changes on Wednesday, including training programs and certifications aimed at combatting the shortage of skilled trade workers as well as bonuses of up to $1,000 per year for hourly workers across its U.S. stores.

The company said in a press release shortly before its annual shareholders’ meeting that the changes are part of ongoing efforts to make the supermarket “the best place to work” for its associates.
