People

At Restaurant Associates, we not only pride ourselves on identifying and recruiting the best talent but also empowering, developing and growing our Associates so they can excel in their careers. For our teams to do their best work, it is of paramount importance that we create a happy and productive culture where our Associates can bring their authentic selves to work. 

Stronger together

Our people are proud of the work they do, producing high quality, nutritious, and sustainably sourced food. We know that satisfying every guest can be tricky, but thanks to our award-winning teams the task becomes simpler.

We rely on our people to deliver great service to our clients and their people, so it is important that they are trained and looked after to the highest standards. We aim to create a workforce that reflects the diversity of the guests and clients we serve, as well as society as a whole, enabling everyone in our business to be themselves.

Diversity & inclusion

Our peoples’ unique backgrounds, experiences and abilities are at the heart of our vibrant workforce. We come together to create workplaces that reflect the diverse communities we serve, where everyone feels empowered and valued.  

Our Diversity and Inclusion strategy focuses on 5 main pillars; First Nations, Disability, Pride, Gender Equality and Veterans.

IGNITE program

To realise our ambitious Gender Equity targets, in 2017 we established IGNITE, a leadership development program which provides high potential women within our business with training, support, networks and executive mentors to build their confidence and ability to progress their careers and compete equitably for senior management roles.  

This highly successful program has contributed to a significant increase in our women in senior leadership roles, with 41% of IGNITE participants having progressed their careers within the first year of completing the program.
