    Cooking Up a Great Workplace: Employee Experience in Foodservice w/ Alison Lambert (Director of Engagement & Insights, Eurest)

    Have you ever had two leaders telling you two different things that are in direct opposition to each other? It’s a common dish served in foodservice, where franchised locations, channel teams or contracted locations mean that a worker might suddenly feel like they’re sandwiched between more than one boss. And that disjointed experience makes it hard to rally employees around a consistent and engaging brand mission that enables and empowers employees to deliver guest experiences that drive loyalty and revenue. Enter Eurest USA, a contract foodservice company within Compass Group that's developed an award-winning recipe for delivering memorable food and guest experiences across 48 states and a wide range of restaurants and brands. Alison Lambert, Director of Engagement & Insights at Eurest, joined ITK host JD Dillon to share how the organization tackles the meaty challenge of ensuring its 16K+ team members are empowered to deliver a meaningful, consistent guest experience while connected to the same company-wide goals.
