McDonald's

Everyone's welcome at the world's community restaurant.

Over the years, success and broad perspectives have gone hand-in-hand at McDonald's.  From new menu items to fresh operating styles, our achievements have largely come from within the mosaic of talent and ideas that is our workforce. 

We hold a position of leadership in diversity and inclusion practices.  And we take our performance seriously, identifying opportunities to consistently raise the bar a little higher. 

Below is just a sampling of important facts, efforts, programs and practices.

Facts

• McDonald's has the largest number of minority and female franchisees in the quick service industry
• More than 37% of all McDonald's US Owner/Operators are women and minorities
• We believe the combined sales of the Company's African-American licensees constitute the largest African-American enterprise in the country
• We believe McDonald's Hispanic franchisees, when combined, represent the largest single Hispanic business in the country

Education

This is the cornerstone for bringing diversity and inclusion to life.  It's how we create awareness and develop skills for managing an inclusive, diverse workforce.  Our programs include Changing Workforce Seminars such as "Leveraging Diversity" and "GenderSpeak - Working Together Successfully."  We also offer a variety of Diversity Education Seminars such as Black Career Development, Hispanic Career Development, Asian Career Development, Women's Career Development and more.

Suppliers

Making diversity an essential part of our business means taking a look at our relationships outside the company.  Our suppliers are a key component of our initiatives.  We build loyalty.  We stimulate local economies.  And we pass on diversity practices - all by choosing suppliers that represent the communities we serve.
