Our Workforce

Sysco’s business is built on our ability to create strong connections throughout the foodservice ecosystem and beyond. We take a similar approach to fuel an inclusive talent pipeline and provide colleagues with opportunities for networking and growth. We continue to leverage external partnerships with many regional and national organizations. We also furthered our early career programming and created a new initiative to help develop Sysco’s future leaders.

At Sysco, we believe every colleague has talent, strengths, and opportunities to contribute well beyond their wildest dreams. We are committed to fostering a culture where all colleagues can build a career, and we strive to raise the performance of all colleagues, leaders, and teams for success. Sysco leaders coach, develop, and assess performance and potential, and identify opportunities to build and maintain our bench strength. ​

​

Plus, Sysco Canada’s signature IMPART Mentorship Program promotes engagement and motivates colleagues to develop their career path, hones exceptional skills, and improves upon their areas of opportunity. ​IMPART’s vision is to recognize and cultivate internal talent to grow the future leaders of Sysco. IMPART fosters a culture of professional development and inclusivity by promoting cross-functional learning, diversity, and mentorship.

Our partnerships with DEI-aligned organizations help ensure we’re engaging inclusive pools of talent and communities. They also create networking opportunities for Sysco Canada leaders and colleagues, provide access to benchmarking data, and help us stay ahead of DEI-related best practices and trends.
