For the third consecutive year, Hilton has been named as one of the World’s Best Workplaces by Great Place to Work. Hilton’s global portfolio comprises more than 5,000 hotel properties with nearly 900,000 rooms, so HR policy is clearly consistently delivered across the business.
Hilton climbed seven places this year to the second spot on the list of the top 25 companies in the world and is the only hospitality company in the top ten.
Team Members from the world’s most hospitable company say Hilton’s culture, benefits and travel perks make it a great place for a career.
“Our Team Members are the heart of our business, and they have been the driving force behind our growth and success around the world for nearly 100 years,” said Christopher J. Nassetta, president & CEO of Hilton. “As the pioneers of hospitality, we are dedicated to creating exceptional experiences for every person we meet – and this starts with our Team Members, who make all of our success possible.”
Hilton offers programs to help Team Members thrive personally and professionally with global career development opportunities and global training. Industry-leading benefits include: parental leave, adoption assistance, GED support and discounted stays at Hilton properties around the world. Under the Thrive@Hilton framework, the company is designing and creating innovative corporate office space and attire for Team Members working in physically demanding jobs.
Team Members also receive exclusive travel perks, and there are a variety of volunteer programs supporting Hilton’s corporate responsibility mission, Travel with Purpose.
“We are honored to once again be named one of the best places to work in the world,” said Matthew W. Schuyler, chief human resources officer for Hilton. “Our Team Members are the heart of Hilton. Today we celebrate their hard work and contributions. By creating a great place to work for all, we know our Team Members will continue to thrive now and in the future.”
With a workforce spanning over 390,000 people across 106 countries and territories, today’s recognition is a result of positive feedback from our Team Members. Hilton ranked in 15 different regional best workplace lists, including Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, India, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and the United States.
