During her four years at McDonald’s, Evett was the National Vice Chair of the McDonald’s PRIDE Network, which connects LGBT+ employees, and a strategic member of the US Diversity Strategy Council. With her involvement in these groups, Evett worked to drive change within the organization. While working alongside the HR team, she ensured more inclusive benefits at McDonald’s with policies that offer reimbursements for gender reassignment surgery and coverage for HIV medication. She also worked on expanding the firm’s parental leave. The other part of her work with the brand included the education of employees around LGBT+ issues. For example, she was interviewed during Pride month featuring a conversation that aimed to educate viewers about LGBT+ labels and pronouns. In 2019, Evett also received the Women Rise Together Award from the Global Women’s Leadership Network.
