This sales pattern calls for a workforce seeking flexible part-time hours, and is ideally suited to those combining work with study or family responsibilities. Interestingly, some 70 per cent of our store management and head office staff commenced their careers working in our restaurants. At McDonald's we're committed to attracting and retaining high calibre people, and we do this through maintaining a long-term commitment to training and good people practices. McDonald's involves people in the development and future of the organisation. We give them the freedom to do the job and the responsibility that goes with the challenge.
People are glad to work on a winning team.
We provide a workplace where decisions are based on individual performance and ability. For instance, equal access to jobs, promotions and training is not determined by such factors as age, race, colour, sex, appearance, religion, marital or parental status, sexual preference, disability, impairment or national origin. Everyone is evaluated on performance. However, this in no way suggests that males will be disadvantaged. Males and females compete equally for jobs and promotions, and decisions are based on individual performance.
