Background

About Nicholas Thompson

I’m a Market People Lead and Social Media Manager for Brandson Ventures, a McDonald’s Franchise where I lead and coordinate the implementation of staffing plans and oversee the talent management process for a market of 450+ staff members. I ensure that McDonald's Canada best practices are integrated into our operations and contribute to the development of a market and business plan to support our leadership teams.I use tools such as McHire and Smart Recruiters to place job ads and oversee the candidate hiring journey. I plan market-wide hiring campaigns and leverage social media to communicate the message to attract top talent. I also plan in-restaurant initiatives and people weekends to build and retain morale for our employees, encouraging them to compete with each other to deliver unmatched QSC & V to all guests.I care deeply about diversity, equity, and inclusion and educate staff members about the representation of different genders, races, cultures, identities, and orientations to accelerate cultures of inclusion and belonging. I create a wide variety of posters and communicate through market-wide emails via Mailchimp and Workplace to ensure everyone gains knowledge about the topic at hand. I conduct PACE+ People Support and People Brand Standard Visits to guarantee that our people managers are always putting making employees a priority. McDonald’s and the organization I work with is amazing and I’m proud to share what I do while building connections along the way!
