CHICAGO – WEBWIRE

Hyatt has been named today to the 2018 FORTUNE “100 Best Companies to Work For®” list, an annual ranking of companies with outstanding workplace cultures according to global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work and FORTUNE. Hyatt has earned a spot on the prestigious list for five consecutive years, ranking at No. 9 this year and jumping 86 places since its original list debut in 2014.

The ranking accounted for the experiences of all employees including women, people of color, LGBT individuals, team members of various generations, and employees with disabilities.

“For more than 60 years, our workplace has been focused on caring for people, and that starts with our colleagues,” said Pete Sears, group president – Americas for Hyatt. “Rooted in a culture of empathy and understanding, our goal is to help Hyatt colleagues be their best, which in turn allows them to build genuine relationships with our guests and deliver unmatched experiences.”

Methodology

Great Place to Work U.S. measures companies on the following characteristics: Great Place to Work for All, executive team effectiveness, innovation, and people-focused programs. In a Great Place to Work for All, employees report high levels of trust, credible and respectful leadership, pride in the work, and camaraderie. We also look to see that employees consistently experience this great workplace, regardless of who they are or what they do. Each company is scored on our analysis of anonymous employee responses to more than 50 survey questions on our Trust Index Survey, together with our evaluation of company programs and practices as measured through our Culture Audit assessment.

More than 315,000 employees provided feedback to determine the winners of the 2018 list. To be considered, companies needed to have at least 1,000 employees and receive enough survey responses to achieve a 95% confidence level with no more than a 5% margin of error.
