INITIATIVES TOWARD TEAM MEMBERS
IT’S OK –
Over the past 103 years, Hilton has come a long way not only in expanding the ever emerging demands of Travel globally, but also caring for the Heart of the company i.e. its Team Members. Considering the fact that often team members are so occupied in their professional set up that either they limit the personal time with family and dear ones or in other forms, their personal work related to bank, school, hospital or even taking care of child at home becomes secondary, Hilton introduced ‘IT’S OK’ campaign that promotes flexibility in work culture. DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square welcomed this remarkable campaign and implemented at the hotel.
REFERRAL PROGRAM –
Hotel recently relaunched Team Members Referral Policy which enables team members to refer candidates for the open vacancies and if the referrals join the hotel, team members can earn incentive. All team members are eligible to participate.
THRIVE AT HILTON -
As part of Thrive at Hilton program that helps team members avoid stress and enable them to focus on wellbeing, the hotel built an internal Care Committee made up of team members of all departments and levels of hotel. The role of the committee is to demonstrate positive team relations, maintain high quality standards and create an environment that makes this hotel a desirable place to work. Recent initiatives include activities for team members such as conducting booster shots, medical camps, staff birthday celebration, town hall etc.
CAREGIVING LEAVES –
The hotel introduced Caregiving leaves for its team members in cases when a team member requires to take leave(s) for self-care (personal illness or injury) or for the care of an immediate family member (i.e. spouse, children, parents, parents-in-law, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, partner and/or pets) who is need of dedicated attention and care (physical or mental) then that team member can apply Caregiving Leaves up to a maximum limit of 10 calendar days per year.
INITIATIVES TOWARD COMMUNITY
PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL NGO
With our constant endeavor of touching lives, together, DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square and ResponseNet NGO hosted a wonderful activity for a set of underprivileged ladies who were learning Bakery art. All these young women were welcomed in the hotel by the leadership team and the Area Team Hilton. Under the supreme guidance of General Manager, Mr. Jai Chugh, they were hosted with the live signature DoubleTree Cookie making session by the panel of eminent bakery Chefs. Followed by a lavish high tea and a panel discussion with questions and answers round, the team of these young bright women left the hotel mesmerized.
