The CNMI has gained its first global McDonald\u2019s awardee.<\/p>\n

Jocelyn \u201cJoyce\u201d Asistores, general manager of McDonald\u2019s Middle Road, has been awarded the 2019 McDonald\u2019s Global Ray Kroc Award, which goes to the top 1% of McDonald\u2019s general managers all over the world who demonstrate superior performances.<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s presents the Global Ray Kroc Award only every two years.<\/p>\n

Asistores, who has been with the company since November 1994, is the first in the Marianas, and in the Ayuyu organization, to receive the award.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels good to receive such an award but I want to give credit to the people who made it possible for me,\u201d Asistores said. \u201cThere would be no award without my managers and crew because they are the ones who really work hard. I may be their leader, but they are the ones who work hard. Yes, I am getting this recognition, but the credit really is for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally from the Philippines, Asistores began her career with McDonald\u2019s in 1994 as crew, then went on to become a crew member, area manager, and in her current role as general manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud of all the accomplishments Joyce has made thus far and I am confident in her abilities to accomplish much more,\u201d said area supervisor Joe Ayuyu Jr. \u201cShe is an inspiration to her team and everyone around her. Joyce embodies the brand McDonald\u2019s to the fullest and we are blessed to have her as part of our team. Cheers to 2020 and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s Saipan owner\/operator Marcia Ayuyu said that Asistores is a very dedicated person and has great people skills. \u201cShe is a great leader,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Asistores attended the McDonald\u2019s Hamburger University, a state-of-the-art training center for McDonald\u2019s managers and employees, in Chicago, Illinois, after which she was promoted to general manager for McDonald\u2019s Garapan. In August 2019, Asistores was promoted to general manager for McDonald\u2019s Middle Road. Currently, she manages a team of 59 employees.<\/p>\n

As for her secret, Asistores said, \u201cThere is no special magic, you just have to do what is right. \u2026It is not enough to just perform your duties. \u2026You have to enjoy your work, and enjoy the people you work with.\u201d<\/p>\n

With more than 36,000 McDonald\u2019s restaurants worldwide, Asistores joins the top 1% of general managers who demonstrate superior performances throughout the McDonald\u2019s system.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels good that you influence others by showing them the right thing to do,\u201d Asistores added.<\/p>\n

The Global Ray Kroc Award is designed to identify and celebrate the chain\u2019s best restaurant managers across the world. Each nominee goes through a vigorous nomination process reviewed by field office HR, field operations teams, and nationally. Winners are selected based on a mix of business results and leadership behaviors.<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s of Guam & Saipan is locally owned and operated by franchisee\u2019s Joe and Marcia Ayuyu. First opened in 1993, the organization includes eight McDonald\u2019s restaurants: two on Saipan and six in Guam. In 2016, the Ayuyu\u2019s acquired all McDonald\u2019s restaurants in Guam and the company remains one of the largest employers in the Marianas Islands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
