Marriott International has been recognized as one of the world’s best multinational workplaces by Great Place to Work, one of the world’s largest annual study of workplace excellence.

Ranked seventh out of 25, Marriott is the highest-ranked hotel company on the list, building on its inclusion on Great Place to Work lists in multiple countries around the world, including Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, United Arab Emirates and the United States.

Marriott International executive vice president and chief human resources officer David Rodriguez said: “We are very pleased to have been honoured once again as one of the World’s Best Multinational Workplaces by Great Place to Work Institute. In a highly competitive environment, particularly in rapidly expanding markets such as the Asia Pacific and Middle East, being recognized as one of the World’s Best Multinational Workplaces further reinforces our reputation as a top employer in global markets.”

Great Place to Work’s annual World’s Best Multinational Workplaces List ranks the top 25 global companies to work for. Qualifying companies must have been selected for at least five national Great Place to Work lists, have at least 5,000 employees worldwide and count at least 40 percent of their global workforce outside of the company’s home country.

Great Place to Work CEO China Gorman said: “The companies listed on the third-annual World’s Best Multinational Workplaces list are creating workplaces dedicated to fostering trust, pride and camaraderie amongst their employees. Their inclusion on this prestigious list demonstrates their commitment to continually improving the lives of their employees and setting innovative new standards for workplaces of the future.”
