Hyatt Hotels Corporation proudly has been named a recipient of the 2013 Gallup Great Workplace Award for the second consecutive year. The annual award recognizes Hyatt for having one of the most engaged and productive workforces in the world.
Dr. James Harter, Chief Scientist, Gallup:
“When compared to the millions of workgroups and hundreds of organizations we have studied around the world, Hyatt has created a workplace that values people. The company goes far beyond trivial perks to create a working environment where employees feel connected to Hyatt’s mission and growth.
“Regardless of industry, company size, or geographic location, improving the engagement level of a workplace improves numerous other business results including safety, productivity, and profitability.”
The Gallup Great Workplace Award
The Award is based on rigorous workplace research. To be eligible for nomination, an organization has to have at least 80 percent of their global workgroup respond to the annual Gallup survey, and more than half of the collective workgroup results need a grand mean score of 4.15 or higher (out of five).
In 2012, more than 75,000 people who work at Hyatt hotels around the world participated in the survey, with results showing that they enjoy their workplace, appreciate Hyatt’s professional development opportunities, training programs, and take pride in providing authentic hospitality to guests.
A panel of workplace experts evaluated applicants, and Hyatt was chosen as one of the top 32 organizations because its results demonstrate that the company has one of the most productive and engaged workforces in the world.
Robb Webb, Chief Human Resources Officer, Hyatt Hotels Corporation commented:
“The passion and commitment of our associates are critical to our ability to provide authentic hospitality and make a difference in the lives of the people we touch every day. Our associates are without a doubt the cornerstone to our success and we are thrilled and honoured to be recognized by Gallup as a company that has a fundamental focus on its people,”
