Locally relevant benefits

Outside the U.S., we provide locally relevant benefits to baristas, such as illness insurance for parents of partners in China, mental health and family expansion benefits in Canada, healthcare benefits in Japan, and a five-day work week in India.

When I started working in an all-women store, we were open about everything, like sharing anything with our team. When we have our store briefings, we could talk openly. So that was one thing which I loved the most about an all-women store. And I love how the customers also observed us… it was like, they were surprised. They’ve never seen this thing.”

Sneha, store manager, India
