Hilton announced today that it was selected as one of the 2016 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For, by global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work and Fortune Magazine.
The selection process includes an employee survey and an in-depth questionnaire about company practices and programs. Great Place to Work then evaluated each application using its own methodology based on five dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.
"Our team members are the heart and soul of our business," said Christopher J. Nassetta, president & CEO of Hilton Worldwide. "We succeed when they succeed. Respecting, recognising and rewarding them creates an environment where, together we have created the world's best hospitality company."

Great Place to Work has found that employees believe they work for great organisations when they consistently trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do and enjoy working with their colleagues.
Programmes such as the parental leave policies that provide ten weeks of fully paid leave for mothers, as well as paid time off for fathers and adoptive parents have helped employees, a company statement said.
In 2015, the company introduced the GED Assistance program to help employees in the U.S. earn their high school equivalency diploma.
"Now more than ever, it is important for companies to prove they are great workplaces," said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. "Top talent expects as much as they seek new opportunities, and customers are demanding it as well as they decide where to spend their dollars. The 100 best workplaces are at the top of the heap in demonstrating they have a high-trust, high-performing culture."
