Hilton Named Among 100 Best Companies to Work For in the U.S. for 11th Consecutive Year

Hilton has once again been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in the United States by Great Place to Work and Fortune, marking its 11th consecutive year on the list. The recognition follows the company’s ranking as the No. 1 World’s Best Workplace last year, reinforcing its reputation for a strong employee-focused culture.

Hilton’s People-First Culture Drives Continued Workplace Recognition

The continued recognition reflects Hilton’s long-standing emphasis on creating a supportive and engaging work environment, built on the principle that empowered and connected team members drive better guest experiences. The company’s approach focuses on talent development, mentorship, and continuous learning as key pillars of its workplace strategy.

Among its flagship initiatives is LAUNCH, a 24-month paid rotational programme designed to develop early-career talent through a combination of on-property experience and corporate exposure. The programme aims to build future hospitality leaders by providing hands-on learning and cross-functional insights.

“At Hilton, we are in the business of people serving people – and our team members are the heart of our hospitality. It’s because of them that we are both an exceptional place to stay and to build a career,” said Chris Nassetta, president and CEO, Hilton. “Today’s announcement reflects the pride, professionalism, and care our teams bring to their work every single day, and I’m so proud of everything we continue to build together.”

Hilton also partners with Guild to offer eligible U.S. employees access to tuition-free education from the start of their employment. The initiative covers a range of learning opportunities, from language courses and certifications to full degree programmes, helping remove barriers to career advancement.

“Being named one of the Best Companies to Work For in the U.S. reflects what our team members experience every day at Hilton – a culture where people feel they truly belong, are supported to grow, and are inspired to do their best work,” said Laura Fuentes, Hilton’s chief human resources officer and head of Hilton Supply Management. “Our more than half a million global team members care deeply about one another, and their passion, creativity and commitment to hospitality turn everyday moments into meaningful experiences for each other and for our guests. This recognition is a powerful validation of that commitment and of the dedication happening behind the scenes.”

In addition, the company has implemented a global mentoring programme powered by MentorcliQ, which uses AI-based matching to connect employees with experienced leaders across the organisation. The programme is designed to support career growth, expand professional networks, and provide guidance at various career stages.

Hilton’s recognition in the U.S. aligns with its broader global standing, having been certified as a Great Place to Work in more than 68 countries. The company’s continued investment in employee development and workplace culture underscores its strategy of strengthening its workforce as a core driver of long-term success in the hospitality industry.
