A fast-growing business is exciting – more sales, more venues, more employees and more fame! Expansion also brings new challenges – not just finding talent, but also developing managers and scaling up the systems for recruitment, induction, training and clear communication.

In this interview Ken Burgin talks with Bree Vatner, HR Manager at the Mr Burger group in Melbourne. They are growing rapidly, and the group also includes food trucks and their own food truck park Welcome to Thornbury. We talked about the central importance of a strong and positive culture, and how that is articulated and put into practice with all their 150+ staff and leaders. We also discussed recruitment methods, in-store and online training, how the HR Manager’s role is changing and much more.
