57% of people working for KFC Malaysia are women

KFC Malaysia has temporarily changed its logo of Colonel Sanders to Claudia Sanders to celebrate International Women’s Day.

The Drum reports that KFC Malaysia has changed its iconic logo to one of Claudia Sanders across its social media and digital platforms to celebrate International Women’s Day.

The fast food chicken company also shared stories of three successful female staff who overcame multiple obstacles. Malaysians are encouraged to do the same by using the hashtag #KFCIWD.

“57% of people working for KFC Malaysia are women. We recognise that a diverse workforce is good for the business. Women are committed; they possess a unique flair and finesse. It is a fact that they, too, play extraordinary roles for the business,” said Merrill Pereyra, chief executive officer for the Restaurant Division of QSR Brand.

“To all women of KFC and the world out there, we would like to say that your future is always bright, equal, safe and rewarding. Keep inspiring us and impacting lives, and thank you for all your hard work and contribution to our community, family and this organisation,” he added.

KFC’s logo will change back tomorrow.
