Panda Restaurant Group
At Panda, developing people means so much more than preparing people for promotion on their job. Developing people at Panda means an entire company focused on each individual becoming everything possible…their personal and professional fulfillment, their confidence, their comfort in their own skin…in addition to their effectiveness. For Panda, the success of the Company is a function of the combined individual “successes” of each individual.
Being at the Panda Support Center (it is not called the headquarters), or being in any Panda restaurant including Panda Express, you will find yourself surrounded by universal positivity. Each individual is uniquely “lit up” and inspired, as each of them knows that the Company’s Vision is to “be recognized as a World Leader in people development to become loved by our Guests.” Each Panda person knows how important their growth is to the Company. Panda is also highly proactive about their service to the community through the extraordinary Panda Cares programs.
The continual rapid growth of the Company – on an undeniable upward trajectory – is a direct result of the culture of individual growth for each associate. Standards are very high, but inspired and growing people are more capable of exceeding the highest of expectations. A company populated by 30,000 people growing as individuals at the greatest possible rate of speed cannot help but be wildly successful. Panda’s results make it clear just how true this has proven to be.
I hope this profile provides you some ideas relative to how your own company culture is evolving. We would love to help your company or other companies you know in recruiting winning talent.
Please let me know when we can connect.
