McDonald’s Croatia has acquired the Employer Partner certificate, awarded by SELECTIO Group, a leading Croatian group specialized in human resources consulting, with a mission to promote high-quality HR systems. The Employer Partner project has indeed accelerated the introduction of desirable HR practices in the Croatian market, and in recent years has had a significant impact on several neighboring countries. Over 19 years, the project has conducted 20,000 evaluations of HR systems, which is why SELECTIO experts today have in-depth insights into all types of organizations.
Creating a Supportive Work Environment
The HR system evaluation conducted by Employer Partner is unique as it simultaneously considers two key perspectives – the employer’s and the employee’s perspective. Involving employees in shaping and maintaining quality working conditions is an essential step towards their well-being. McDonald’s Croatia regularly conducts engagement and organizational climate surveys and records a high response rate. The results obtained do not remain just on paper, but are accompanied by concrete action plans. Additionally, the company actively encourages employees to recommend candidates for open positions and rewards them for doing so. In this way, it builds an organizational culture in which employees feel valued and connected.
Opportunities for Development and Maintaining a Balance Between Personal and Professional Obligations
McDonald’s offers students development opportunities, allowing them to participate in business improvement and access scholarships. Aware of the challenges students face in balancing work and personal obligations, last year they decided to support 29 deserving students with scholarships that assist them in their professional and academic advancement.
For all employees, the company provides a transparent promotion system, recognizing and rewarding exceptional effort. With clearly defined criteria, they have also implemented a reward system that includes various types of rewards. Last year, all employees received raises and bonuses as a result of their work. McDonald’s continuously listens to employee feedback on work benefits and strives to implement changes. In addition to material and non-material benefits, flexible working arrangements are available to employees, allowing them to adjust their working hours to their own obligations. Adjusting working hours makes it easier for employees to balance their personal and professional lives and contributes to their well-being.
