SkipTheDishes’ Post

Settling into a new home can be challenging. Many of our Skip team members have moved to a new city, into a new role, or across the globe and we want everyone to feel welcome and supported at Skip. Our JETSetters community is a global Employee Resource Group doing just that: providing support, community and resources to newcomers across Just Eat Takeaway.com (JET). Our JETSetters - Canada chapter is ramping up their initiatives at #Skip. At their kickoff event, team members from all areas of the business mixed and mingled during an interactive get-to-know-you bingo game. They were tasked with finding colleagues in the room to match the bingo card prompts. Now attendees know more about each other including: whose email inbox is at zero, who has been in Canada for over five years, who can make a dish from their home country, who’s gone viral online, who knows a historical fact about Canada and more! We’re looking forward to more events from our JETSetters ERG to continue building a supportive community for newcomers to JET, to Skip and to the places we call home! #WeAreSkip #JetSetters #EmployeeResourceGroup #NewcomerSupport

From our home to yours, Happy Canada Day! 🍁 Today, we celebrate the rich and diverse cultures that make up our nation. We are proud to deliver joy to Canadians from coast to coast, providing cuisines and daily essentials as diverse as the communities we serve. In celebration of our nation’s diversity, we also take today as an opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the diverse Indigenous communities that have called this land home long before the nation's founding. By recognizing our past and embracing our collective responsibility, we can work together to create a stronger, more inclusive Canada that is brighter for everyone. We encourage everyone to learn more about the history of Indigenous Peoples in Canada and the work that lies ahead on our journey towards reconciliation. Not sure where to start?

We are thrilled to share that Skip's Inflation Cookbook campaign was awarded FOUR Cannes Lions at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity last week! 🏆🏆🏆🏆 🥇2 Gold Lions 🥈1 Silver Lion 🥉1 Bronze Lion 🎗️4 Shortlists As part of Skip's ongoing commitment to fighting food insecurity in the communities we serve, our Inflation Cookbook set out to provide Canadians with an innovative tool that could help them source more affordable groceries. In doing so, we also expanded our longstanding partnership with Food Banks Canada | Banques alimentaires Canada to include weekly food donations from our Skip Express Lane locations across the country. It's an honour to see such an important campaign recognized on a global stage, and we are so proud to see the positive impact it continues to have on Canadians. Congratulations to our partners at dentsu and Pomp & Circumstance PR who helped to bring this incredible campaign to life! https://lnkd.in/gKGQt66M #CannesLions #CannesLions2024 #Skip #SkipExpressLane

In recognition of National Indigenous Peoples Day, we’re pleased to announce the second year of the SkipTheDishes Bursary for Indigenous Students in partnership with Indspire, a national charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples across Canada. Last year, the bursary was distributed to six Indigenous youth pursuing post-secondary education programs in Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. We recently caught up with one of our bursary recipients, Phoenix H., who is in her second year of veterinary medicine at the University of Calgary, and shared that “the award has helped in more ways than you can imagine,” and allowed her to be the first person in her family to attend a post-secondary school. We’re proud to support another cohort of Indigenous youth pursuing post-secondary education, with a focus in 2024 on education in computer science and information-related studies. Research shows that Indigenous Peoples continue to be underrepresented in the technology sector, and through this bursary program, we hope to open more doors and create greater opportunities to ensure the tech industry is as diverse as the communities we serve.
