Hilton has been named the #1 Best Workplace in Asia by Great Place to Work® for the second consecutive year, marking a decade as the top hospitality workplace in the region. This accolade highlights Hilton's commitment to a people-focused culture, supporting nearly 100,000 team members across more than 1,300 hotels in Asia Pacific.
Over the past decade, Hilton has reshaped the hospitality career landscape by offering flexible gig work opportunities and investing in AI-powered tools to streamline routine tasks. Alan Watts, president of Asia Pacific at Hilton, stated, “It reflects the way we support one another, create opportunities for growth, and foster a deep sense of belonging that enables our team members to do their best work.”
Hilton's workforce has more than doubled from 48,000 in 2017 to 99,000 in 2026, driven by initiatives like the SHINE General Manager development programme and the Women in Leadership programme. These efforts aim to achieve a 70% internal placement rate, fostering leadership growth within the company.
The company's Thrive@Hilton initiative supports personal development, offering benefits such as wellness education, personalised coaching, and fertility support. Patsy Ng, senior vice president of human resources, Asia Pacific, emphasised, “As our team expands and our culture travels into new communities and destinations, we are as committed as ever to ensuring every team member has the support and pathways to grow alongside us.”
Hilton's recognition as Asia's top workplace is based on confidential employee feedback, further cementing its status as a global leader in workplace culture.
