Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today that it has been named
a recipient of the 2014 Gallup Great Workplace Award for the third
consecutive year. The annual award recognizes Hyatt for having one of
the most engaged and productive workforces in the world.
“Hyatt is extremely proud of our strong workplace environment, unique
familial culture and the deep emotional connections that are shared by
our 95,000 colleagues around the world,” said Robb Webb, chief human
resources officer, Hyatt Hotels Corporation. “We believe that the
passion and commitment of our colleagues are critical to our long-term
success, and we are focused on helping one another achieve our full
potential to better serve our guests each day. We are honored that our
colleagues have once again reaffirmed our efforts to care for the
individual by recognizing Hyatt as a best place to work.”
The Gallup Great Workplace 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).
More than 76,000 Hyatt associates in 48 countries participated in the
2013 survey. The results showed that they enjoy their workplace,
appreciate the professional development opportunities and 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 35 organizations because of its strong results.
Winners of the 2014 Gallup Great Workplace Award will be presented with
their awards at a gala during the Gallup Summit 2014, May 13-15, 2014.
