AmRestees are the heart and soul of our organization. They make AmRest special and that is why it is important for us that they feel happy and confident about what they do.
- Our internal promotion rate is 80%. We are committed to our employees and we invest in their careers.
- We work with employees to create Individual Development Plans to progress their personal and professional development.
- We have two dedicated training programs for our managers and leaders: AmCollege and AmRest University.
AmRest University is a comprehensive, professional development program dedicated to high performing senior managers and directors at AmRest. The program develops holistic leadership through soft skill development at the individual level, preparing leaders to take new ownership of their careers. By effectively harnessing these skills, leaders can apply them to AmRest – achieving organizational results.
AmCollege is a tailor-made program dedicated to supporting the development of our future leaders. The program’s goal is to provide ambitious individuals with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge to take on new responsibilities. The program combines hard and soft skill training sessions with development initiatives, empowering participants to contribute to AmRest’s growth.
- Internal and External Training. At AmRest, we regularly conduct internal training sessions dedicated to progressing employee development. Each AmRestee also has the chance to take part in external training sessions.
- Country leadership teams in local markets conduct special training sessions alongside mentoring schemes.
- Relocations. AmRest is a truly global company. If you wish, you have the opportunity to work abroad and continue your career in another market.
- Personalized career path. At AmRest, we understand that growing the business depends on encouraging the personal growth of our employees. We do not believe career paths need to be linear, and for that reason we encourage job mobility. You might wish to relocate, change department or job function entirely. For us, passion and discipline are often as valuable as experience and competency. Skills can always be learnt, so here you can really shape the career you want.
- Internships. At AmRest, we offer a range of internships for students, with the possibility of a full-time position afterwards.
- Flexible hours. We help you balance your professional and personal roles with the ability to work from home and the opportunity to leave work or take holiday to handle emergencies.
- No dress code. We want you to feel yourself at AmRest. That is why our offices don’t have a dress code, and we only have minimal dress guidelines in our restaurants to maintain brand identity. We offer opportunities to work the way you like – when and where you like.
- Bon Appétit. All employees are given a special 25% discount card for use at our restaurants.
- Personalized cafeteria. We have a cafeteria system with various options like multisport cards or investment funds.
- Whistleblowing program. This platform enables our employees to voice their opinion on the company. They have the freedom to say what they think, propose solutions to problems, report irregularities or breaches of our cooperation rules.
- CSR Opportunities. The CSR Strategy covers four pillars. Within each pillar AmRest encourages employees to get involved in a range of activities, locally and globally.
- Events. It is important our employees get the chance to socialize outside a work environment, so we regularly organize events such as Christmas parties and summer picnics.
- Employee Referral programs. We seek to include our employees in the company’s recruitment process. Utilizing personal networks, employees can share our current job vacancies and provide recommendations to the company.
- Informal atmosphere.We communicate with each other in a natural way, call each other by our first names and put a lot of effort into building professional relationships with our colleagues. We treat everyone equally and make sure everybody feels comfortable in the workplace.
- Strong position and reputation. We are a leading multi-brand restaurant operator with a strong presence in Europe and China. AmRest is publicly listed in Poland and Spain.
- An international team. AmRest employees work in more than 25 different countries, come from different cultures and speak different languages, and we believe this diversity is our strength.
- Flexible work schedule. We believe in work-life integration. That is why we enable our employees to combine their private and professional activities by enabling them to personalize their work hours.
- Opportunities for vertical and horizontal promotion. At AmRest, we want employees to have an impact on shaping their career, and we encourage them to go beyond their comfort zone and fulfil their full potential. This could involve working abroad, moving between functions and departments or between operations and offices.
- Culture of recognition. One of the most important elements in our workplace is recognition. AmRest has over 100 employee recognition programs, both local and global, like the Colonel’s Kitchen and the Building Excellence Award.
- Diverse Bonus System based on performance. We reward employees for their commitment, with a variety of bonus systems, personalized to each position, and dependent on the results of your work and achieving your goals.
