Train management skills, leadership, leveraging a better performance in the challenges that you faces every day. Above all, this participation encourages the company’s network and for being a competition without real consequences allows participants to have fun with the results.

Participation in this competition is an excellent way to develop and solidify their experience, “explains Joaquim Rafael, Director of Human Resources of McDonald’s Portugal. Adds “we are in an evolving business and Global Management Challenge is an excellent opportunity for a reappraisal of how we to see the market and our way of acting. Participation in the competition allows us to reflect on behaviors, expectations and consumer habits, as well as new management models and the challenges facing businesses today. “
