Third-party hospitality leader ranks it as Best Overall Workplace for Private Companies and Best in Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure
Plano, Texas, September 18, 2024 LONDON, Oct 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Aimbridge Hospitality, one of the world’s leading hotel management companies and the largest third-party hotel operator in the world, has been named one of the 2024-2025 Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies by U.S. News & World Report, the global authority on rankings and consumer advice.
This prestigious award places Aimbridge in the top 25% of private companies evaluated across key metrics and recognizes the company’s commitment to developing the industry’s top talent and sustaining a culture of growth and belonging.
“Our employees are the best in the industry and bring unmatched passion and dedication to their jobs every day as part of our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional experiences for our guests and the best outcomes for our owners.” Craig S. Smith“This honor from U.S. News & World Report is a testament to the culture we’ve built for our 45,000 employees and the opportunities we continually create for them to pursue exciting and growing careers in the hospitality industry,” said Aimbridge Hospitality CEO John F. Kennedy.
Developed with input from industry experts, the Best Companies to Work For list aims to guide employees and job seekers to the workplaces that best align with their values and professional aspirations. The rating analysed employee sentiment across six key factors: quality of pay and benefits, work-life balance and flexibility, job and company stability, physical and psychological comfort, sense of belonging and self-esteem, and career opportunities and professional development.
“We have been intentional about listening to our employees and transforming what it means to grow, succeed and build a career in the hospitality industry. Our intentional efforts to build a world-class culture and develop talent have made Aimbridge a destination that attracts the best and brightest talent in the industry,” said Aimbridge. Anne ChristensonAnne McClellan, chief human resources officer, Aimbridge Hospitality, said: “Talent development is an area where we have invested heavily and made a long-term commitment to developing talent at all levels of the organisation. The trust and care we instill in our teams is critical in developing a passionate, skilled workforce that shares our vision of changing the face of hospitality through meaningful experiences and property performance.”
As part of our vibrant and collaborative work environment, Aimbridge is at the forefront of developing innovative programs and benefits for our employees aimed at enhancing their experience, some of which include:
Employee flexibility at the property level was made possible by adopting technology that gives employees control over their schedules and work location preferences through intelligent shift scheduling. Through a mobile app, employees can self-schedule, swap shifts, or pick up available shifts across hotels, improving work-life balance and increasing employee satisfaction. More than 12,000 employees (approximately 30% of Aimbridge’s hourly workforce) have swapped shifts since the program launched in 2023. Industry-leading training and development opportunities, such as GM Connect, equip general managers with the skills and knowledge to lead properties and people, experience Aimbridge’s culture firsthand, and foster relationships with the upper-property teams that support the hotel. These programs have enabled Aimbridge to increase GM retention and increase stability in this critical role in hotel leadership. An employee lifecycle focused on data and continuous improvement delivers on the value of “Become Better. Every Day.”, giving employees access to information, feedback, and suggestions. The lifecycle incorporates 30- and 90-day onboarding milestones, annual engagement surveys, pulse surveys, and other feedback moments that solicit employee sentiment around the rollout of company initiatives and programs.
The U.S. News & World Report Best Company award is the latest in a series of top workplace awards bestowed upon Aimbridge in recent months, which also include Newsweek’s “Best Workplaces in America,” Forbes’ “America’s Best Large Workplace” and “Best Employer for Women,” as well as Best Corporate Leadership and Career Growth, Best HR, Engineering and Sales Teams, Best Corporate Outlook and Happiest Employees.
