Our success starts and ends with our green apron partners. That’s why making Starbucks the unrivaled best job in retail is core to our Back to Starbucks plan.

We’re excited to announce a new benefit for our retail teams. Beginning Spring 2025, we’re launching a new paid parental leave top-up benefit for all our eligible Canadian store partners who work an average of 20 hours a week or more. Benefits-eligible partners with 6 months of continuous service who welcome a new child will receive 100% of their average pay for up to 12 weeks.

Partners have told us how important it is to have financial support when they become new parents, and we listened. Combined with our leading Fertility and Family Expansion offerings, no other retailer in Canada offers better family benefits than we do.

Whether it is about career, education or family, we offer competitive pay and a collection of benefits that are best in class. Canadian Starbucks partners have the opportunity to:

• Grow their career with us. Last month, we established a goal to fill 90% of retail leadership roles internally, paving the way for our hourly partners to grow with Starbucks.  

• Get the health and wellbeing coverage they need. Starbucks offers robust financial and family planning support services, with up to $40,000 in reimbursements. All benefits-eligible partners also have access to $5,000 in mental health benefits.

• Invest in their future. This month, nearly 17,000 partners in Canada were awarded a Bean Stock grant, and, since 1991, 1.5 million partners around the world have received $2.4 billion in company stock. We also support ongoing education with tuition reimbursement of up to $1,000 of the cost of post-secondary or continued learning per year.
