Talent Acquisition and Talent Development

We are committed to the recruitment, retention, and continued development of people who thrive and succeed in our culture. In furtherance of this goal, our primary areas of focus remain: (i) talent acquisition, (ii)
          onboarding, (iii) coaching, development, and retention, and (iv) integrity and professionalism. As part of the Company’s effort to attract and motivate employees, we offer compensation and comprehensive benefits that we believe are competitive in
          the markets in which we operate and compete for talent. We also have a dedicated internal talent acquisition team, with deep knowledge of our Company and our core values, in order to help us find the best prospective employees for open positions
          worldwide. We hold ourselves accountable for filling open roles expeditiously by closely monitoring and limiting days to fill open roles. We also challenge ourselves to take a broad view of talent acquisition, regularly seeking talent from
          non-traditional backgrounds and from outside our industry, and moving beyond restrictive pedigree requirements in favor of skills and the ability to learn.

After hiring a candidate, we believe that an effective onboarding is a critical factor in whether a new employee succeeds or fails. We continue to develop, and improve upon, our onboarding process to differentiate
          ourselves from our competitors and help enable our employees to succeed. We generally track our progress through weekly pre-hire team onboarding calls, new hire surveys, new hire check-ins, hiring manager surveys, and a monthly report of our
          results to senior leadership. We also require regular 1:1 meetings between non-production employees and their supervisors.

In order to continue to develop and retain our key talent, we offer training and project work based upon the employee’s role in the Company. We also maintain personalized career planning, ongoing coaching and
          development by Corporate and local leadership, and focused programming that ensures our key talent learns from and gains exposure to senior leadership. Performance reviews and succession planning occur company-wide on an annual basis. Individual
          goals are set annually for employees, which flow from the Company strategy, and attainment of those goals is an element of the employee’s performance assessment. We invest in our development programs for high-impact roles, such as our General
          Management Development, Sales Representative Trainee, and Flavorist Trainee programs. We continue to “promote-from-within” and provide opportunities for our internal employees to grow their careers,
