Darden Restaurants is a strong company with a rich history.
When our founder, Bill Darden, opened his rst restaurant
in 1938, he knew how important great people were to the
success and growth of his business. Bill referred to the
quality of our employees as “our greatest competitive
edge.” This belief still holds true and is the reason we are
intensifying our focus on people. By strengthening
employee engagement, we are making Darden a special
place where each person has an opportunity to fulfill
personal and professional dreams. By strengthening our
commitment to diversity, we are making the power of
individual dierences work for us. And by strengthening
our talent management, we are attracting, retaining and
growing the best people in the industry.
With great people motivated by our compelling core
purpose – to make a positive dierence in the lives of others
– we have created, nurtured and sustained a strong culture.
And this culture fosters the passion and vigor required to
make our mission a reality – to be the best in casual dining,
now and for generations.
