Our passion is to put a Yum! on people's faces around the world... that special eating experience that makes you smile and creates life-long customers. That means putting people capability first and actively seeking, encouraging different perspectives, diverse opinions, and robust dialogue. That also means attracting individuals that reflect our diverse customer base and that will freely contribute their views, ideas, and unique styles and backgrounds.

It's our respect for, and our relationship with, our diverse family of customers, franchisees, suppliers, and employees that's not only helping Yum! to achieve global victories, it's helping us to build neighborhoods and communities where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Yum!'s family of leading brands is actively building winning relationships through:

• Leadership and involvement in the communities where we live and work—exemplified by our recognition as one of FORTUNE magazine's 2004 Top Companies for Minorities.
• Partnering with select diversity-serving colleges and institutions to attract the best talent in the workplace;
• Training managers in the leadership skills needed to foster an inclusive work environment built on everyone's contributions;
• Sponsorship of mentoring and coaching programs that empower employees to set, plan and achieve their own personal and professional goals;
• Leading in our support of organizations such as the Women's Foodservice Forum, a premier organization that promotes women's career development and advancement;
• Enhancing the foodservice industry's overall diversity efforts through our support of the MultiCultural Foodservice and Hospitality Alliance, an unparalleled organization committed to stimulating and sustaining the growth of multiculturalism and its economic benefits;
• Actively reaching out to minority-and women-owned businesses through our Supplier Diversity Initiative, and actively supporting organizations that promote diversity in franchising
