After reading employee comments, Marriott International stood out to me as I learned how the company is very guest-oriented and “putting people first”, which the company appears to continue through those values to their employees.
Jubel A, a butler service supervisor, explained: “My favorite part of working at Marriott is the opportunity to give back to the community through the Take Care program,” he says about Marriott’s global wellness program designed to support associates’ physical, mental, and financial health. For Jubel, diversity and inclusion aren’t just words, they’re lived values. “If I had to describe Marriott in what word it would be people-centric because we always put people first” (San Segundo, 5). The benefits of this company are what keeps their employees motivated, happy, and continuing to push the core values of the company everyday. Marriott’s commitment to nurturing both guests and employees creates a workplace where people feel genuinely valued and supported.
As I read into Hilton, I was able to interpret how Employees at Hilton consistently highlight the incredible sense of community that defines their workplace. What stands out most is the diversity of the team; people from different backgrounds, cultures, and even languages all coming together with one shared purpose: delivering exceptional service to guests. Team members describe an environment filled with learning, laughter, and genuine connection, where they support one another and grow together every day.
After learning from my recent management classes, I aspire to be a manager who pushes my employees to work their best and most efficiently, but also to be a very compassionate manager that my employees can look up to. I think it is important to work hard and efficiently in the workzone, but be a part of an uplifting team that is there to support, help, and have fun with each other while doing so.
