Hyatt Hotels Corporation, commonly known as Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, is an American multinational hospitality company headquartered in the Riverside Plaza area of Chicago that manages and franchises luxury and business hotels, resorts, and vacation properties.
The company offers the concept of “total quality” in service to their guests and customers through internal staff (receptionists, bellboys, maids, etc). The contact between staff and customers is daily and constant. The management of the company is well aware that its employees are the image of the company and therefore spares no resources to maintain or improve the working environment of the company. The training is as important as the happy employees in providing the best service.
Achieving excellence is done through a good program to improve the working environment:
Each employee receives a job description with the rules and regulations of the company. Each hotel has its own job description, although everyone responds to a series of standards that correspond to the philosophy of the company.
The ultimate goal is to achieve excellence through efficiency. To attain this, the staff has to work under the following conditions: Pleasant working climate; Relaxed, comfortable and casual atmosphere; Good mood; Fair wages.
In 2020, Hyatt pivoted quickly to put several measures in place to support colleagues at the onset of the pandemic, while also taking steps to further address diversity, equity & inclusion (DE&I) and an increased need to prioritize wellbeing, including:
- Established the Hyatt Care Fund, a program designed to support colleagues with the most pressing financial needs as a result of COVID-19 through a series of coordinated efforts around the world, with a total of $17m in funds being paid out

- Launched Hyatt’s Change Starts Here commitments to accelerate employees diversity, equity and inclusion efforts
- Introduced Hyatt Well-Check, a mental wellbeing assessment tool developed by Weill Cornell Department of Medicine, to help colleagues better understand the state of their own mental wellbeing and point them toward resources
