QSR\u2019s Best Brands to Work For put the spotlight on 18 companies, large and small, for their dedication to providing employees with benefits, recognition programs, career pathways, and community efforts to drive employee engagement and retention.<\/p>\n
The recognition celebrates the brand\u2019s commitment to excellence in professional development and career growth opportunities, competitive pay, benefits and perks, employer culture, flexibility in scheduling, and, of course, free and discounted Scooter\u2019s Coffee drinks.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Scooter\u2019s Coffee, we foster a culture of growth and care for our employees because it\u2019s the amazing people that truly set us apart from any other QSR brand,\u201d Mikala Friedrich, chief human resource and systems officer at Scooter\u2019s Coffee, said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen employees take pride in where they work and feel supported by their employer, ultimately, this trickles down to the customer experience and helps ensure that we create an amazing experience with every visit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Building on this recognition, Lacey Navarrete, vice president of human resources, at Scooter\u2019s Coffee, will join a panel of speakers from fellow awardees for a webinar hosted by QSR on Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 1 p.m. CT.
