Sharing what's close to our hearts

It’s not just all work and no play at the BreadTalk Group.

We support our employees’ involvement in the cause that is closest to their hearts, whether it is participating in events initiated by the different brands under the group, or small outings to volunteer with fellow colleagues and bond outside of work.

In addition to providing paid volunteer leave, we have forged strong partnerships with various welfare organisations to provide meaningful volunteering opportunities for our staff with diverse skill sets to contribute in their own ways.

Nurturing the next generation of leaders

Paul Fang and Yuan Xin joined the BreadTalk Group as part of the Management Associate Programme - a career acceleration scheme specially conceived for high-performing individuals looking to supercharge their career within the Group.

With their fresh perspectives, the duo has been making marked contributions by driving productivity, improving retail and backend processes. Being millennials themselves, they are also actively exploring new digital initiatives that can help improve business processes while enjoying what they do best!

Speaking the Right Language

Nicholas, our Operations Trainer at Food Republic, is the face many of our new hires meet on their first day of work. Drawing from his onground experience with the Operations team, he further tailors the training programme to suit their capabilities and experiences.

To Nicholas, who believes that everyone deserves to shine, being part of a colleague's career journey is especially rewarding to him. It gives him a sense of satisfaction to know that he has made a difference in their professional growth.

Working with international teams

Previously from the public sector, Wing Git took the leap to explore new opportunities in the private sector as a key member of the Human Resource team.

Wing Git rose to the new challenges in the retail environment. He travels extensively to the Group’s regional offices, forging invaluable friendships with colleagues from all walks of life. According to Wing Git, the opportunity to learn and understand subtle cultural nuances is a vital skill in an evolving global marketplace.

Pushing Boundaries

Meng Han loved sketching as a child and has transformed his passion and ideas into real-life concepts. A graduate from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Meng leads a team of creatives at the Bakery Division, providing creative direction for the Bakery Division’s wide-range of dining concepts – from ensuring the right art direction to be executed for a photography set up to working on quirky designs to be executed that puts a smile on consumers’ faces.

Imparting Knowledge

Lin-Jie, as she is affectionately known, started her career as a Coffee Master herself with the very first Toast Box store at Wisma Atria in 2005. Her warm personality and professionalism have drawn many of her team mates who look to her for advice. Lin-Jie dedicates her success to the numerous opportunities the Group has provided her to fuel her coffee passion, where she has travelled to various countries to attend courses and upgrade her skills.

Her strong passion in coffee brewing at Toast Box reflects her commitment to deliver consistent quality to her customers. Having been with the company for the last 10 years, she has trained many of her "disciples" at the 80 toast box stores in Singapore.

Building career-advancing skills

You Lee joined BreadTalk as a Junior Customer Service Assistant in 2010. 5 years later, You Lee is now the youngest Branch Manager at BreadTalk.

Many of her customers have grown to become her friends over the years. She recalls the satisfaction she felt when she managed to help a customer who accidentally dropped a customised birthday cake for her son’s birthday party with another personalised cake on the house.

Having good mentors along the way has spurred her on in the Food & Beverage industry, which can be tough at times but definitely rewarding!
