  Global Month of Good 2024   The Social committee of the Amsterdam Roasting Plant brings a collection of activities for our partners to participate in the GMOG 2024.   This year, we're offering a diverse range of opportunities for our partners to get involved and make a positive impact.   In addition to collaborating with our UK partners on online initiatives, we're also providing volunteer opportunities right here in Amsterdam.   Making a difference in our community:   Het Koffiehuis (The Coffeehouse): This local organization provides a safe haven for Amsterdam's homeless and undocumented population. They offer daily work projects, along with a warm cup of coffee, lunch, and clean clothes.   Oma's Soep (Granny's Soup): This inspiring initiative tackles loneliness among the elderly in the Netherlands. They combine food rescue efforts with engaging social activities, where older adults cook together and prepare nutritious soups for those in need.   We've already had some fantastic participation from our partners who volunteered at Het Koffiehuis and Oma's Soep. The experience of cooking alongside and for these communities was truly enriching, and it served as a powerful reminder of the impact we can have by working together.   #GMOG2024 #socialgood #Amsterdam #community #belonging 

Unveiling the Magic: The ARP Experience Launches! For over two decades, the Amsterdam Roasting Plant has been the heart of coffee roasting and packing for our entire region. But this year, we're opening our doors for a truly unforgettable experience: The ARP Experience! For the first time ever, we're inviting passionate partners (employees) to immerse in the world of coffee. Over the next eight sessions this year, partners will get exclusive access to see firsthand how green coffee beans are transformed into the delicious beverages our customers love. Two Unique Experiences Await: Coffee Masters: This full-day program is designed for our certified Coffee Masters. Join our Master Roasters for an in-depth dive into coffee sourcing, roasting, and packaging. Expect hands-on workshops, sensorial labs, and a comprehensive plant tour. General Partners: Calling all coffee lovers! This half-day experience offers a fascinating glimpse into the final stages of our coffee journey. Explore the plant, learn about the intricate processes before coffee reaches our stores, and gain a deeper appreciation for the craft. While coffee master certification is recommended, this tour is open to all interested partners. The Passion is Brewing! Since applications opened in April, we've been thrilled to see over 40 registrations from partners across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (with space for up to 100!). We can't wait to kick off the first ARP Experience on June 12th. Stay tuned for more exciting updates! #ARPexperience #teamwork #joy #craft

The annual Starbucks EMEA Partner Engagement Survey showed that our partners are 13% more engaged compared to last year. 81% feel emotionally engaged with their work and the organization. This is a result that we are very proud of. And -of course- there are always things that we need to continuously improve. During the Partner Forum, the results of the PES were presented to all partners by director Lorna McCallum. Afterwards, the group was divided into subgroups to provide input on different topics. This is very valuable because the feedback and ideas from the partners will allow us to continue working on improving the Partner Experience within the Amsterdam Roasting Plant in the coming years. #engagement #teamwork #starbucks

Do the Gemba Walk! Gemba is a beautiful Japanese term which means, “The place where value is created.” Every Monday, a small team with watchful eyes walks through the place where we create our valuable coffee product: the plant floor. Using the guidelines of Food Safety, Food Defense, Safety, GMPs, Chemical Control and Pest Control, the Gemba Walk focuses on equipment, processes and partner habits that could potentially harm our product or partners. This weekly snapshot gives us a measurement of our food safety performance against the monthly Food Safety and Sanitation Audit – which also gives a snapshot of the yearly BRC Audit. All actions from the Gemba Walk are documented in application by team members and ultimately contribute to the overall improvement of the Amsterdam Roasting Plant. #foodsafety #GMP #joy #gembawalk

At Starbucks, we believe that taking care of our partners is essential to our success. We know that when our partners are happy and healthy, they are more likely to be productive and engaged in their work. That's why we are excited to announce the kick-off of our Work & Recovery workshop series. Working in shifts is not always easy. It demands a lot from you: physically, mentally and affects your work/life balance. How can you ensure that you recover sufficiently when you are not at work? This workshop is designed for all plant partners who work shifts. It will provide partners with information and tools to help them manage their work/life balance and promote healthy recovery habits. In addition to the workshop, the one-on-one coaching will be a great opportunity to get personalized feedback and advice on how to improve your work/life balance. The workshop will be led by a team of experienced professionals from HumanTotalCare who will provide practical advice and tools that you can use in your everyday life. #workandrecovery #starbucksexperience #wecare

"Everyday, our Starbucks Baristas serve millions of cups of coffee worldwide. But the journey for each coffee bean begins long before it reaches our stores. This is the Amsterdam Roasting Plant." We proudly present our first brand video of the Starbucks Amsterdam Roasting Plant! Take a look behind the scenes of this special location where we produce the finest quality coffee for our customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa. This video was co-created by a team of our own plant and office partners. Special thanks to all these partners, film producer Jasper Rollema, Lara Diamond and Mischa Tan. #starbucks #coffeebeans #teamperformance

Counting 81,000 bags of coffee equaling a whopping total of 5,400,000 kgs in the span of one morning?   That is what a dedicated group of partners (employees) got to experience recently. The reason? Each year, a coffee count is organized to make sure our green coffee inventory numbers are as accurate as can be. With green coffee, we refer to all coffee that is yet to be roasted.   The task may seem immense at first but with the right mix of craft, courage, belonging and joy, there is little that can scare our partners off. Prior to every annual count so far, new partners from different departments sign up to join – from Planning to Quality, from Safety to Operations to Maintenance. Feedback that we often receive is that people enjoy contributing to a successful count while working together with partners they would not usually work with in their day-to-day job. Next to this, partners love learning more about our supply chain and coffee origins, taking pride in what we can achieve when working together.   Thanks to the partners that joined, we completed the count in a matter of hours with virtually no discrepancy between our physical inventory and system inventory; a great result! On to the next count with a new dedicated counting crew. #amsterdamroastingplant #teamwork #greenbeans #countingbeans

Ömer Dogan (Allround Operator III at ARP) was one of the 80 Starbucks partners from Europe, the Middle East and Africa who visited Rwanda this year, as part of the 2023 Origin Experience. The goal of this journey was to immerse in the story of coffee on the farms where it's grown. He describes his journey and great experiences in this article. Learn more about Ömer, the wise lessons he has learned, the wonderful partners of the origin experience, and how cows can make a difference. #originexperience2023 #starbucks #craft #rwanda
