I spoke with Liz Williams, president of Taco Bell International, about this topic and how the company champions both diversity and cultural unity to create a highly collaborative organization. When people leave the company, Williams said, they tend to stay in touch with former colleagues and a good number eventually return (Boomerang hires are the best kind!) For example, the company sponsors the Live Mas Scholarship for Taco Bell employees and a separate scholarship that is open to everyone. A stellar part of Yum Brands, Taco Bell intends to expand aggressively overseas by 2022. “Instead of making it personal, I placed my remarks in the context of what was good for the collective team,” Sharpe said.
