The magazine awarded Marriott top marks for its highly proactive health and wellness programs that help employees manage and maintain their own health. Last year, the company rolled out two initiatives, "TakeCare" and "Choose Health Every Day." Both initiatives empower employees and provide resources and support to help them incorporate healthy habits into their daily routines.
"At Marriott, we believe you can't expect your employees to do their best work unless they are feeling their best," said David Rodriguez, executive vice president of global human resources. "Offering these types of wellness programs may seem like a small thing, but the benefits they deliver make a world of difference for our employees, their families, and our company."
The magazine also recognized Marriott for its flexible work schedules, training, coaching and networking programs, and employee engagement surveys. These workplace practices help the company provide unique opportunities around the globe and allow employees to find their own career journey across our portfolio of 18 brands and 1100 managed locations around the world.
Earlier this year, Working Mother magazine also named Marriott a "best company for hourly workers," and the National Association of Female Executives (NAFE) recognized the company as a "Top Company for Executive Women."
