McLEAN, Va. – Hilton (NYSE: HLT) announced today that it has been recognized as the No. 2 top workplace for Millennials in the U.S. by Great Place to Work and Fortune. This is the seventh consecutive year the global hospitality leader has received the recognition from its own Millennial team members as one of the best employers for their generation. This recognition follows Hilton’s recent ranking as the World’s No. 1 Best Workplace by Great Place to Work and Fortune and the No. 1 Best Company to Work For in the U.S. by Great Place to Work, becoming the only hospitality company to receive both recognitions.
Hilton’s award-winning culture of people serving people is driven by substantial investments in programs and benefits that support its population of team members. With industry-leading benefits and resources, Hilton provides a place for its team members to build not only a job, but also a career. Consisting of ages between 28 and 43 years old, Millennials are the largest generation in today’s workforce and seek workplaces that empower them to embrace their authentic selves at work, grow their careers, provide flexibility to pursue their personal passions and prioritize mental wellbeing. Today, Millennials make up 40 percent of Hilton’s U.S. global team member population and 58 percent of Hilton’s global population, which spans five generations and works across more than 7,600 properties in 126 countries.
“We strengthen our community by representing and engaging across the breadth of generations we serve through our hotels and offices across the world,” said Laura Fuentes, chief human resources officer, Hilton. “Today’s recognition is a testament to our investments in ensuring not just Millennials, but all team members, can thrive personally and professionally and that Hilton will be with them every step of the way.”
Hilton is proud to provide an inclusive, exciting workplace culture that appeals to Millennials and prioritizes their unique perspective. This recognition reflects Hilton’s dedication to building an inclusive and purpose-driven culture that offers industry-leading career growth, wellbeing and work-life balance benefits that Millennial team members prioritize, including:
Career Growth: Through complementary programs like Hilton University, people leader upskilling, debt-free education through the company’s partnership with Guild and Lead@Hilton leadership and development programs, Hilton is working to ensure team members have the opportunity to grow through a fulfilling career.
Wellbeing: Hilton supports the wellbeing and performance of team members with industry-leading rewards, recognition and benefit programs to meet their needs and dreams. Through industry-leading programs like Care for All, mental wellbeing resources and Thrive Sabbatical and Reset programs, Hilton is enabling its Millennial team members to thrive in their personal and professional lives.
Flexibility: Hilton embraces flexibility and growth in all aspects of the business and recognizes that flexibility does not come in a one-size-fits-all solution for every team member. By creating advance schedules so that team members can arrange childcare or other family-related matters and offering more flexible hours, hybrid arrangements and unique sabbatical opportunities, Hilton is working to ensure its team members can bring their whole selves to work.
Leading Travel Benefits: Through its popular Go Hilton travel program, Hilton provides discounted rates at over 7,600 properties around the world.
"Working for Hilton is like painting on an empty canvas; there are endless possibilities for what you could become,” said Jillian Saludo, general manager and Millennial team member, Embassy Suites by Hilton Milpitas Silicon Valley. “I am certainly filled with enthusiasm and eagerness to grow with the company and take on challenging roles to lead hotels and team members to reach success while elevating the experience for our guests.”
