“We are very proud to be recognized once again as one of the top
places to work in Brazil. Our employees are the face of the Arcos
Dorados family and we are committed to providing a thriving
workplace culture, alongside opportunities for training,
development and advancement. Brazil is our largest market in Latin
America, and I would like to thank our Team for making this
important recognition possible once again,” said Sergio Alonso, CEO
of Arcos Dorados.
“We are focused on the integration of communications, operations
and training, and human resources, so that all employees are
informed, aligned and able to excel at their jobs. This not only
leads to employee satisfaction, but also a great customer
experience.”
In the past year, Arcos Dorados has implemented “Cooltura de
Servicio”, or Service Culture. The program gives employees the
opportunity to provide a more personalized experience to customers,
thereby driving continued improvements in customer
satisfaction.
In addition to this recognition, Arcos Dorados was recently
ranked as the fourth best Company in Mexico for gender equality.
The award by TOP Companies, which recognizes the top companies for
diversity, reinforces Arcos Dorados’ long-standing commitment to
equality in the workplace. Across the region, 53% of the Company’s
restaurant managers and corporate associates are female.
Arcos Dorados values the training, development and motivation of
its employees. As Latin America’s largest generator of first time
