Everyone Belongs
Diversity is our strength and competitive advantage. We’re all about creating an inclusive culture that reflects the expansive nature of our brand and encourages team members from all backgrounds and experiences to be the best they can be.
Papa Johns is continuing to advance its company-wide Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) strategy, supporting the company’s top strategic priority to build a culture of leaders who believe in diversity, inclusivity and winning.
Consistent with Papa Johns Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’s (DEI) vision to allow our diversity to be our strength and competitive advantage, the purpose behind our Inclusive Resource Groups (IRGs) is to encourage and empower our team members to grow and evolve. IRGs are groups of team members who come together to support common characteristics, goals and interests that are aligned with Papa Johns values, business goals and DEI strategy. They promote inclusion, open dialogue, learning and constructive contributions to Papa Johns business objectives. All are welcome to attend and participate in the IRGs – allies are essential to ensuring a more inclusive culture that embraces diversity. Papa Johns IRGs exemplify our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
