Welcome to the official Human Resources Leadership page of Eco Grove Solutions Canada, where people, planet, and purposeful work come together. This page is dedicated to our HR Manager, Subtain Aluk, and our commitment to building a workplace rooted in respect, sustainability, growth, and community impact.

People at the Heart of Eco Grove Solutions
At Eco Grove Solutions Canada, our vision is not only to change how Canadians access fresh fruits and vegetables but also to build one of the most people-centric and sustainably managed workplaces in the Canadian eCommerce and food distribution industry. We believe that a company’s success is directly linked to the happiness, safety, and growth of its employees. Every apple delivered, every order packed, every customer supported, it all begins with our people. Under the guidance of our HR Manager, Subtain Aluk, our HR department champions this mission through policies, support systems, and growth-focused strategies designed to cultivate long-term success for every team member.
About Our HR Leader: Subtain Aluk’s Vision for People and Purpose
At the core of Eco Grove Solutions Canada’s people strategy is our HR Manager, Subtain Aluk. With a background in organisational leadership and sustainable workforce development, Subtain brings a forward-thinking approach that blends corporate HR excellence with a human, empathetic touch.
“At Eco Grove, HR is not paperwork; it’s people development. Every hire, every conversation, every initiative should contribute to a better future for both the team and the planet.” – Subtain Aluk
Subtain believes that a modern HR department should operate with three core principles:
- Human-Centred Leadership: Each team member deserves respect, support, and growth opportunities.
- Fairness & Transparency: All hiring, appraisal, and promotion decisions must be ethical and bias-free.
- Sustainable Workforce Culture: Just like we care for the environment, we care for people with long-term well-being in mind.
Under Subtain’s guidance, Eco Grove’s HR division functions as a strategic partner in business, not just an administrative unit.
Eco Grove’s HR Philosophy: People, Planet, Purpose
Eco Grove Solutions was built on three pillars: freshness, sustainability, and community. These values don’t just apply to our produce; they apply to our workforce. Our HR systems are designed to:
- Promote long-term career growth rather than temporary staffing
- Encourage teamwork across departments from the warehouse to IT
- Build a workplace where diversity is celebrated, and individuality is respected
- Create an emotionally safe environment where employees feel heard
We believe a great company is not defined only by its products but by how it treats the people behind those products.
Inclusive Hiring & Equal Opportunity Commitment
Eco Grove Solutions Canada follows an Equal Opportunity Employment Policy, ensuring that all hiring decisions are based purely on merit, skill, and passion.
Our hiring promises under HR leadership:
- No discrimination based on race, gender, religion, ethnicity, disability, or age
- Inclusive language in all job postings to encourage wider applicant diversity
- Accessible hiring for applicants with different learning or communication needs
- Student-friendly and newcomer-friendly roles to support young professionals and new immigrants in Canada
Our HR team, led by Subtain, reviews hiring practices regularly to ensure they remain modern, fair, and inclusive.
Recruitment & Onboarding – Welcoming New Team Members the Right Way
Starting a new job should not feel overwhelming. Our onboarding process is designed to make new hires feel welcomed, prepared, and motivated from day one.
What new employees can expect:
- A warm welcome kit introducing our eco-values and people vision
- Structured training sessions tailored to their specific role
- A buddy or mentor system to ease transition into the team
- Clear communication of responsibilities, goals, and growth paths
We believe that when onboarding is done right, employees feel like part of the family, not just part of the staff.
Employee Training & Skill Development Programs
At Eco Grove Solutions Canada, we believe that learning should be a continuous journey rather than a one-time onboarding activity. Under the direction of HR Manager Subtain Aluk, we have implemented training programs that cater to different learning styles and professional stages. Employees are encouraged to grow not only within their current role but also to discover new skills that may lead to future leadership opportunities.
Our Training Philosophy Includes:
- Role-specific technical training for warehouse, logistics, customer care, marketing, and administrative roles
- Soft skills workshops covering communication, teamwork, leadership basics, and time management
- Sustainability awareness modules to reinforce our eco-focused mission across teams
- Upskilling resources for employees interested in digital tools, inventory systems, HR support, or operations management
We believe that a confident, well-trained team is the foundation of service excellence.
Continuous Learning Culture: Workshops, Mentorship & Growth Tracks
We do not view training as a checkbox but as a culture. To support lifelong learning, we provide ongoing educational opportunities through:
- Monthly internal workshops led by experienced team members or guest trainers
- Mentorship pairings where experienced staff support new hires or junior employees
- Self-paced learning resources, including guides, video tutorials, and knowledge-sharing sessions
- Leadership grooming initiatives for employees demonstrating strong potential and dedication
As HR Manager, Subtain promotes a mindset of curiosity and personal development. Employees are encouraged to request learning resources at any time.

Employee Recognition & Reward Culture
At Eco Grove Solutions Canada, we believe that recognition is a powerful motivator. Under the strategic direction of Subtain Aluk, our HR department has established a recognition culture that values effort, consistency, creativity, and positive attitude just as much as performance metrics.
Forms of Employee Recognition at Eco Grove Solutions:
- Monthly “Eco Impact Champion” Awards for employees who demonstrate outstanding teamwork, support sustainability goals, or go above and beyond their role.
- Peer-to-peer appreciation system, where employees can anonymously nominate team members for small acts of kindness or professional excellence
- Milestone acknowledgments, including work anniversaries, promotions, and personal achievements
- Spot bonuses or appreciation vouchers for exceptional contributions during busy or high-demand periods
Our HR vision believes that appreciation shouldn’t be limited to annual reviews; it should be part of our everyday culture.

A great workplace runs on communication. Eco Grove Solutions promotes a positive team environment by encouraging collaboration across departments.
