Marriott named Aon Best Employer in Asia Pacific, capping a momentous year - Seite 2

Asia is Marriott's fastest growing market and there are plans to add another 390 hotels across 21 brands across the region by the end of 2020. To support the company's plans for growth and attract the next generation of associates, Marriott has long put great emphasis on its unique company culture with its traditions of teamwork, excellence and community involvement.

Marriott's commitment to its associates is illustrated by TakeCare, Marriott's unique program that focuses on associate wellbeing and happiness. The TakeCare program provides a global focus on helping associates live their best life -- with a focus on the body, mind and spirit, while building a healthy and secure future.

"At Marriott, innovative associate programs such as TakeCare keep our employees engaged and happy to come to work. We are committed to programs like this because as well as being the right thing to do, they also make good business sense. In order to attract, engage and retain the best talent in the region, we will continue to put people first," said Regan Taikitsadaporn, Chief Human Resources Officer at Marriott International.

The Aon Best Employers program compares organizations to identify those that strive to create a competitive advantage through their people and become employers of choice. To achieve global recognition through the Aon Best Employers program, Marriott was assessed on four measures:

• Engagement Index: employees speak positively about their employer, intend to stay and are motivated by their employment experience to do their best work every day.
• Leadership Index: leaders clearly define the vision for the future, recognize employees' critical importance and lead them to success.
• Performance Culture Index: employees are aligned to company goals and are rewarded and recognized for their contributions.
• Employer Brand Index: employees are proud of the company they work for and know what makes the company distinctive as a place to work.

The Aon Hewitt award ceremonies in Asia Pacific will take place in summer 2017.
