With now close to 60,000employees to date, McDonaldās Philippinesāunder its master franchise holder and owner Dr. George T. Yang and President and CEO Kenneth S. Yangāwill be providing over 20,000 career opportunities to Filipinos as it continues to open more stores all over the country. āWith every new store that we open, we are able to provide employment opportunities in localĀ communities where the store is located. We directly hire all our people and do not practice contractualization. This has always been the way we hire our people since our chairman, Dr. George T. Yang opened the 1st McDonaldās in the Philippines in Morayta, Manila in 1981āand it is something that we will continue to do. We believe that if our people working in the restaurants have job security first, it will allow them to focus and do well in their job of serving our customers. ā said Kenneth S. Yang, President and CEO of McDonaldās Philippines.

Equal Opportunity Employer
McDonaldās Philippines takes pride in being an equal opportunity employer, providing career opportunities to working students and Filipinos from all walks of lifeāregardless of background, age, gender, or sexual orientation.
From the crew room to the boardroom, the quick service restaurant (QSR) giant is driven by a good representation of women with more than 50% taking vital positions and leadership roles.
Along with providing regular employment, McDonaldās Philippines also ensures a safe and inclusive workplace that allows its people to thrive. As one of the countryās biggest employers, McDonaldās Philippines champions equity where all employees, whether in its head office or stores, have equal access to training and development and advancement opportunities.
McDonaldās extends this to more members of the community with programs like WIP or Workforce Immersion Program. WIP provides training for Senior High School students by allowing them firsthand experience of the fast food industry and its operations; the Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES), in partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), where McDonaldās helps in providing jobs for underprivileged students and out-of-school youth through employing them to become McDonaldās crew members. Since adopting SPES in 2011, McDonaldās has provided 16,319 Filipino youth with employment opportunities.
In partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Philippine Business for Education (PBEd), McDonaldās Alternative Workforce Program offers work-based training positions for 5,000 unemployed and out-of-school youths through YouthWorksPH to provide beneficiaries with financial knowledge, skills, and access to resources necessary to effectively manage finances through adulthood.
