As Hilton approaches its 100th birthday in 2019, it has a lot to be proud of. When it comes to creating an inclusive workplace, the global hospitality company has had a remarkable year. The McLean, Va.-based operator of hotels and resorts around the world takes the top spot on this year’s list of the Best Workplaces for Diversity, published by Great Place to Work and Fortune, moving up from No. 14 last year.
From recruiting and leadership mentoring programs to partnerships with nonprofits to GED and apprenticeship opportunities for employees who need them, Hilton supports its workforce at every level of the organization.
Hilton’s performance this year is extraordinary across all demographics, including ethnic and racial identity, gender, age, disability status, and sexual orientation. That means the company not only has a sizeable representation of employees in each of these categories, but that a high percentage of those employees across the board rate the company a great place to work, sharing in generous company benefits and positive workplace culture.
