Outback Steakhouse Gives Mums the Moment They Deserve This Mother’s Day
We are setting the table for genuine connections
Our Principles & Beliefs, the guiding values at Bloomin’ Brands, state that “We believe in the sanctity of the individual, the value of inclusion and belonging, and in treating people with kindness, respect, and understanding.” Our culture is founded on respecting and valuing every person, including but not limited to differences in gender, race, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, ability, or age.
As a hospitality company, the goal for our restaurants is to cultivate a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment that celebrates diverse backgrounds and provides equitable access to opportunity.
We deliver on this by ensuring everyone is trained, understands, and is held accountable for the role they play in making our restaurants a place where everyone is valued for who they are and what they bring to the table.
LEADERSHIP & TALENT DEVELOPMENT
Effective leadership and talent development help us foster a culture of continuous growth. We offer structured learning and development programs to prepare Team Members for new roles, including but not limited to:
• Grow & Bloom Workshops: These 60- or 90-minute workshops focus on leadership competency development and provide an opportunity for Team Members at all levels to engage in education, training, and development around the skills and best practices they need to succeed.
• Leading People at Bloomin’ Brands: This internally developed program for people leaders focuses on building coaching skills. This 12-month program has three phases: online learning, a multi-day live workshop, and quarterly coaching with a member of the Executive Leadership Team.
TRAINING & EDUCATION
We take pride in hiring the best people in the business and in developing their strengths to maximize their full potential. We offer comprehensive training programs to help people build new skills and remain at the top of their game.
EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS (ERGs)
In recent years, we have expanded our ERGs into various local markets, allowing Team Members from our restaurants and the RSC to connect more deeply. Our ERGs have dedicated executive sponsors who support their missions and success. As of December 2024, we had over 1,100 members across our ERGs, demonstrating our commitment to workplace diversity and inclusion.
MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIPS
Being good stewards of our communities and engaging with organizations dedicated to cultivating more diverse and inclusive communities.
We are committed to supporting differently-abled individuals through meaningful partnerships, such as with Dogs Inc. We also sponsor local non-profit youth development organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Step Up For Students, and The Skills Center, which provides socioeconomically disadvantaged youth with education, health, and workforce readiness programs.
Our dedication to fostering inclusion and belonging extends to our partnerships with the National Urban League and its affiliate chapters across the country. We also support organizations such as the Women’s Foodservice Forum (WFF), Multicultural Foodservice & Hospitality Alliance (MFHA), and the Diversity Lab to raise cultural awareness and create inclusive environments within our restaurants.
