Mission: Deliver experiences that enrich and nourish lives.
This World Facilities Management Day, we’re thankful for our Aramark team members, and all essential workers, who are supporting the COVID-19 pandemic.
This week, we unveiled Aramark EverSafe™, our multi-dimensional platform to support the safe reopening and sustainable management of our client locations. Through partnership with Jefferson Health, this new level of safety excellence aims to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and provide the most hygienic, safe environments for everyone we serve.
We focus on enriching and nourishing the lives of millions all over the world, providing a wide range of services—food, facilities and uniforms—to a diverse group of clients in 19 countries. We serve world champion sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, state-of-the-art healthcare providers and the world’s leading educational institutions. And every day, we dream of ways to do it better through our commitment to innovation and our passion for excellent customer service.
Our employee efforts have even been recognized by many notable organizations, including the Human Rights Campaign, Black Enterprise Magazine, CAREERS and Latino Magazine.

Innovation inspired by you
The better we know the people we serve, the greater the experiences we can develop. Whether it’s food service, facilities or uniforms, our proprietary programs allow us to understand the wants and needs of our audiences.
Armed with that knowledge, our Service Stars spring into action, combining insights and ingenuity to deliver moments that make a difference. These innovations could be game-changing campus transformations. Or a simpler, quicker way for you to access condiments at the ballpark. In any case, our innovations help create experiences that make an impact.
Beyond great service
Another key part of what makes us different is something we call service excellence.
To us, service excellence isn’t just about providing great customer service. It also means using time-tested practices and proven processes to get it right every day, everywhere, in everything that we do. And it's also about striking the perfect balance between doing something well over and over again and being responsive enough to the changing needs of clients and customers. It’s being open to the continuing cycle of innovation. Excellent, but never satisfied. Process-driven, but never locked in place.
We never stop thinking of new, better ways to get it right when our people impact the lives of clients and consumers every day.
Our people make all the difference—we make sure of it
Our commitment to hiring, training and rewarding the right people ensures that our employees are more than just hard workers. They’re Service Stars, and that means they can be counted on to go above and beyond, every single day.
We understand that many times our people are literally the face of your business. That’s why all 270,000 Service Stars receive continual access to professional development and proprietary skills training.
The bottom line is this: when you work with Aramark, you can be confident you’ll be collaborating with the right people with the right skills and the right attitude. That’s true whether it’s for strategic expertise, operational excellence or just serving a morning coffee. That’s our commitment as trusted partners and Service Stars. That’s the Aramark way.
SEE HOW WE'RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE EVERY SINGLE DAY
At every opportunity, we turn insights into innovations, which have an extraordinary impact on our customers, clients and the world around us.
Training and Development
"We consider the opportunity to grow and develop career-enhancing skills one of the most important factors in motivating our employees. It helps them feel engaged, encouraged and reaffirms that they made the right choice in their employer. Whether an hourly employee on the front lines just starting his or her professional career, or a seasoned veteran in one of our many industries, we strive to offer each person an opportunity to continuously improve and contribute to the success of our company.
Our 270,000+ workforce is diverse and widespread with a variety of development and training needs. Our employees are expected to be experts in their field, and we promise this level of professional expertise to our clients. With that in mind, we provide consistent and effective training for all our employees throughout their careers, including leadership development courses for managers, from supervisory to executive positions.
With our robust individual development planning process, each employee has the opportunity to build his or her unique road map for success. We support our employee's career aspirations by providing them with the activities and courses they need to expand their knowledge, skills and abilities.
We provide hundreds of thousands of hours of training to our employees at all locations and positions. That way, our exceptional employees can expand their knowledge, learn new skills and gain the expertise they need to enjoy a rewarding career."
Safety
We’re committed to safety in the food we serve, the places where we work, and in our daily operations.
"Every day, we create experiences that enrich and nourish people’s lives around the world. It’s also our responsibility to deliver those experiences safely, so we strive to maintain the highest levels of safety for our own people, our customers and our clients.
Through our Safety Assurance in Food and Environments (SAFE) principles, we make safety a priority in everything we do. We employ sound policies, rigorous training and processes, and high, consistent standards to meet our safety commitment every day and every time.
From the food we serve, the places where we work or our day-to-day operations, we make sure safety is an “every-moment-every-day” mindset for our employees. And that mindset extends to every place our people work, whether that’s in a kitchen, a warehouse, an office, or a truck.
At a minimum, we comply with every food, environmental and workplace safety regulation that governs our business. Beyond that, we work hard to create a safety culture where all employees can stop any situation in which they feel unsafe. And we’re constantly improving our safety programs so that we can continue to create safer environments today and in the future.
As a service organization, we offer a wide range of career opportunities. From field operations to corporate and support functions, veterans have found a home with us as leaders in our food, facilities, and uniform divisions coast to coast.
Today more than ever we are on the lookout for motivated candidates with leadership skills and the ability to take initiative.
