🚨 Big news from McDonald’s UK! 🚨
In a bold move to ensure a safer working environment, McDonald’s is rolling out major changes across its UK restaurants after a letter from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). This comes in response to serious allegations involving discrimination, harassment, and mistreatment within the company.
Here’s the scoop: After some high-profile legal cases and over 700 young employees taking action, McDonald’s has agreed on new measures with the EHRC to tackle these issues head-on. Originally, a legal agreement to prevent sexual harassment was established in 2023, but due to recent developments, it’s been extended and ramped up with even stricter actions.
What’s changing?
– **Safeguarding Plan:** McDonald’s will work with external experts to create a new safeguarding plan aimed at protecting vulnerable employees.
– **Complaint Handling:** Any complaints against managers will now be investigated externally, ensuring impartiality.
– **Expert Oversight:** An external auditor will evaluate McDonald’s revamped complaints handling procedures.
– **Comprehensive Training:** Managers and franchisees will receive expanded training, covering essential topics like social media and grooming.
With over 170,000 employees in 1,450 restaurants, McDonald’s is one of Britain’s largest employers. The fast-food giant is committed to ensuring zero tolerance for harassment and creating a safe, supportive workplace for all its staff. 💼🍔
A McDonald’s spokesperson shared that over the past three years, substantial steps have been taken, and this new agreement will further strengthen their efforts. The measures, developed with leading experts, aim to make a significant difference for the 148,000 current employees in the UK.
