Marriott International has announced that Marriott International Hong Kong has been named Global Best Employer in Hong Kong for 2017 by the Aon Best Employers programme for the second year in a row.
Aon Hewitt, the global leader in human resource solutions, develops studies and awards that help organisations actively promote strengths to attract and retain top talent in today’s competitive global job market. Famous brand names are no longer sufficient to be considered a preferred employer. Rather, companies need to recognise and reward achievements that create competitive advantages through their most important asset – their people.
Held once a year, the Global Aon Best Employer award sets a new benchmark for excellence. For a second year in a row, Marriott International Hong Kong has been recognised as the Global Best Employer in Hong Kong, with this year’s award following its successful merger with Starwood in 2016, resulting in the world’s largest hotel group.
In Hong Kong alone, Marriott International now employs 3,800 associates and comprises 10 properties: The Ritz-Carlton, W Hong Kong, JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong, Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers, Hong Kong Sky City Marriott Hotel, Le Meridien Cyberport, Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong, Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong Sha Tin and Convention Plaza Apartment.
In its quest for continued growth, the company remains focused on cultivating its caring and collaborative culture. This is fuelled by the TakeCare Wellbeing Campaign which promotes activities that support the associates’ physical, emotional, career and financial health. Cross-hotel training programmes further enable them to acquire new skills and brand knowledge while community engagement initiatives offer them an opportunity to serve others within the local community.
The Global Best Employer for Hong Kong in 2017 recognises the inspiring commitment and superior performance of Marriott International associates, both of which drive the company’s growth. The award also reflects Marriott International’s sustainable approach to success.
ÒReceiving this recognition for the second year in a row proves that our company is on the right path, delivering improved results for all stakeholders,Ó said Cecilia Ieong, Vice President, Human Resources Operations, Greater China. ÒSince the merger with Starwood, our associates have upheld our high standards of service and continue to deliver outstanding results for our guests.Ó
The results were officially announced on August 1 2017 at the awards ceremony held in the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong.
