One of the world's most inclusive brands
Under the philosophy of “none of us is as good as all of us,” McDonald’s is committed to being fair and conducting business, including talent attraction, in a manner that respects all people. We incorporate top technology, amazing employees, and key strategies to support diversity, inclusion, and equity throughout our talent processes as we strive to make every interaction along the way a feel-good moment. We are proud of the way we work together to make a difference to our business, our people, our communities, and the planet.
Benefits and Perks
We offer a competitive remuneration and benefits package that covers more than just base pay. It is made up of a mixture of fixed pay and reward, health insurance for specific levels, variable rewards, and a wide range of additional benefits. All permanent corporate staff are included in our Target Incentive Plan (TIP) which is an annual discretionary performance-based allocation.
We offer working from home and flexible arrangements as a benefit provided to all corporate employees. So plan to discuss your arrangements with your manager from time to time to understand if there’s an impact to doing your role from home or working with your team.
We appreciate the time, effort and hard work our employees put in each and every day. That’s why we offer several rewards and recognition programs to acknowledge the contributions and achievements of outstanding employees.
McDonald’s is committed to the training and development of it’s people. It is critical to our ongoing success that we foster a culture that demands and supports individual learning and growth. Annually we spend over $40 million on the training and development of our people and we are proud to be able to commit to this every year.
Employee wellbeing is important to us here at McDonalds which is why we have a trust partner with Drake for our Employee Assistance Program. We recognise that overcoming the difficulties in life can feel overwhelming so we also extend this offering to immediate family members.

Gender Strategy
We’re committed to inspiring workplaces where everyone – from crew to c-suite – is equally supported and empowered to realise their full potential. But we also want to drive progress on a global scale by encouraging franchisees, suppliers and other partners to deliver initiatives that drive gender balance and improve diversity, with the goal of reaching millions of women worldwide.
Our Purpose & Impact
Here at McDonald’s, our purpose is to feed and foster communities. When we say, “billions served,” we’re not just talking about burgers. We’re talking about serving our communities, customers, crew, farmers, franchisees and suppliers. Because we know there’s a difference between being in a community and being part of one. Across states, territories, and everything in between, these things don’t create communities. People do. We’re consistently inspired by the way people come together in ways big and small to support their communities. But they can’t afford to go it alone – they need support now more than ever. In response, we’re prioritizing our role and commitments in the tens of thousands of communities we operate in. We’re also speaking up about our impact on the communities we have been serving for more than 50 years here in Australia, and how we plan to feed and foster the future of those communities over the next 50 years. How can McDonald’s make the biggest difference? As we look to the future, we believe we can have an even greater impact by focusing on four areas that matter to our communities.
