I chose to evaluate Hilton, Wegmans Food Market, and The Cheesecake Factory.
Hilton has been rated the #1 best fortune 100 company to work for in the world. Hilton is a global hospitality company that owns over 6500 properties in 119 countries. 93% of the employees working for Hilton claim that it is a great company, whereas the average U.S. company only receives 57% positive feedback from its employees. Hilton practices HR by creating a team-like environment, providing generous benefits, giving ample opportunities to grow in the company, and treating their employees like family.
Wegmans Food Market has been rated #3 best fortune 100 company to work for in the world. Wegmans is a family-based retail company with 106 grocery stores throughout the United States. This company also offers online assistance with meal planning and delivery. 89% of its employees claim that it is a great company to work for, which is 32% more positive employee feedback than the average U.S. company. Wegmans practices HR by making contributions to the community daily, being ethical in their management decisions, and delivering excellent service to customers.
The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated has been rated #12 best fortune 100 company to work for in the world. The Cheesecake Factory is an upscale restaurant chain residing throughout the United States. 84% of its employees claim that it is a great company to work for. This is still 27% more positive employee feedback than the average U.S. company. The Cheesecake Factory practices HR by treating all their employees equally regardless of their position, being a part of a family-like environment, and providing a friendly atmosphere to their customers.
I personally would like to be a manager that is able to provide its employees with the best possible benefits that would entice them to stay committed to the company until they retire. I would give all my employees plenty of opportunities to advance in the company and grow with commitment. I think one of the most challenging aspects of a manager’s job is when you have to make a budget cut-which could include laying employees off. It is never easy to fire someone because you are unsure of how they will react to it and what repercussions may arise from it.
