LAS VEGAS, May 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International (NYSE: MGM) was ranked No. 76 on Forbes' list of
America's Best Employers for 2018, a significant jump from the
previous year's ranking of the company at No. 236.
Forbes, in partnership with the research firm Statista, compiled
the annual list by independently surveying more than 30,000
employees across 23 industries. MGM Resorts led the Travel &
Leisure Industry with its ranking.
Other hospitality companies to make the list were: Hilton Hotels
at No. 138; Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts (No. 147); Hyatt Hotels
(No. 186), and Marriott International (No. 216). Wynn Resorts and
Las Vegas Sands were on the list at 365 and 457, respectively.
"We take employee engagement very seriously at MGM Resorts,"
says Michelle DiTondo, the company's
senior vice president and chief human resources officer. "We have
invested in several tools and initiatives to enrich the work
experience and engage our 78,000 employees through a united company
culture. But those tools only enhance what is already a strong
workforce made up of amazing, dedicated people who understand the
value of treating our guests, and each other, with care and
dignity. It's an honor to make the Forbes list."
Since 2016, MGM Resorts has supplemented its robust employee
engagement initiative with new programs and platforms including: an
awards-based employee recognition platform called Applause, upward
feedback appraisals for managers, and an improved online-based
communications portal that gives employees the opportunity to
engage each other and stay informed about company news.
Employees who completed the Forbes survey were contacted online
and asked to provide anonymous feedback. Employers did not play a
role in the selection of participants, who were asked their
willingness to recommend their company on a scale of 0 to 10. They
were also asked to give their opinions about working conditions,
salary, potential for development and company image regarding their
current employer.
