Our Best
We engage employees with unique opportunities.
As an Olympic Champion Crew, our best people
can work in our Olympic Village restaurants and
attend Olympic events. In our Voice of McDonald’s
contest, employees compete for the chance to
perform live at our 2008 Worldwide Convention.
Employee Connection
As part of our “Not Bad for a McJob” initiative
in the U.K., the new “ourlounge.co.uk” website
allows employees to access work schedules,
get information on local activities and pursue
development goals by taking accredited
courses online.
Collaborating to Win
Our success worldwide is built on a culture
of collaboration with our owner/operators and
suppliers. We leverage this relationship to
identify the right business opportunities so
that we can consistently deliver relevant
restaurant experiences to customers.
1.6 million
restaurant employees Systemwide dedicated
to serving our customers.
So that our managers and crew can better provide great service
to every customer every time, we aim to provide a fun, flexible
work environment and superior training opportunities. We’ve
been recognized as a great place to work in dozens of countries
including Argentina, India, Mexico, Russia, Singapore and the U.K.
Our efforts are guided by a people strategy that establishes priorities
in the areas of hiring, training, rewards and workplace flexibility in our
restaurants. We measure the effectiveness of our people practices
through our global restaurant operations improvement process and
regular employee surveys. As a result, we’ve seen crew and manager
commitment levels increase in many countries.
We support development from the crew room to the board room,
starting with on-the-job training in our restaurants and progressing to
college-level management classes offered at Hamburger University –
Fred L. Turner Training Center. To help prepare our next generation of
corporate leaders, McDonald’s Leadership Institute offers accelerated
programs to nearly 200 high potential employees from throughout
our System. Fortune magazine recognized the high priority we place
on talent development, ranking McDonald’s one of the Top 20 Global
Companies for Leaders in 2007.
