Wellbeing is at the core of Hyatt’s purpose, and to further extend care to colleagues, Hyatt is proud to announce a new collaboration with Mind Share Partners, a nonprofit that is changing the culture of workplace mental health so colleagues and organizations can thrive. Rooted in empathy and global colleague insights and feedback, this collaboration focuses on deepening Hyatt’s commitment to wellbeing by building a greater understanding around mental health, proactively seeking support when needed, and contributing to a mentally healthy workplace.

“At Hyatt, our differentiated approach to wellbeing starts by actively listening to what truly matters to our colleagues and extends to each guest that steps into a Hyatt hotel around the world,” says Christy Sinnott, Senior Vice President of Talent Management, Hyatt. “We know wellbeing is deeply personal, which is why Hyatt strives to create a culture of wellbeing at work by offering an array of experiences, tools, and resources that care for both who you are and how you are. Our collaboration with Mind Share Partners is one more way we are supporting Hyatt hotels and offices to create a mentally healthy workplace for colleagues to thrive.”

To kick off this collaboration, Hyatt and Mind Share Partners conducted a series of focus groups and interviews with Hyatt leaders and colleagues globally to learn about the cultured nuances and stigmas around mental health. Guided by the expertise of Mind Share Partners, Hyatt is setting out to help broaden colleagues’ understanding of mental wellbeing, normalize experiences, eliminate stigma, and create a dialogue around the importance of mental health. A key component of this strategy will be grounded in storytelling, starting with Hyatt leaders who will share insights from their personal journeys.
