The onset of COVID-19 hit the hospitality industry hard, and the past few years have been challenging, even for a multinational that encompasses over 8,000 properties under 30 leading brands spanning 139 countries and territories. Yet Marriott continues to work toward a better employee experience by building care into its DNA and actively listening to team members’ needs. Over the past year, Marriott has enhanced its retirement savings program, boosting matching, reducing vesting time frames, and broadening eligibility. With an eye toward inclusivity and diversity, Marriott also rolled out part-time management positions, which the company says allows it to tap into a broader talent pool. Moves such as these buffer employees’ trust in the company and helped Marriott jump from No. 23 in 2022 into the top 10 this year.

Like all hospitality businesses, Marriott suffered in 2020. The company furloughed tens of thousands of workers from its 842 U.S. locations, but kept out-of-work hotel staffers in the loop with monthly voluntary calls in which the furloughed could learn about Marriott’s status and its prospects of economic recovery. The company also helped those who did not expect to return to Marriott to seek jobs in industries that were hiring. “I never once felt I was alone over the past eight months,” notes one furloughed employee. Some laid-off workers, however, rallied for better severance pay and rehire rights.

These companies foster supportive cultures, where employees find opportunities for growth with help from their colleagues.

"What I find unique about Marriott is that the company has been able to stay true to its core values over the years. Employees at any level of the organization are aware of the company’s culture and core values. When asked, Bill Marriott would often acknowledge that the key to his success was the employees. All these years later, the simple concept of ‘take care of associates and they'll take care of the customers,’ still rings true. There is flexibility and a focus on the balance of work and home life that you do not typically find in large corporations. However, what truly makes Marriott a great place to work are the people. Observing just my department, we are sixteen strong with 267 combined years of Marriott experience. We work as a cohesive team valuing each other’s opinions and working together to achieve company goals."
