Marriott Again Recognized for Wellness at Work and Home

Company received Workplace Excellence Award and Health & Wellness Trailblazer Award.

Marriott International has once again received two awards from the Alliance for Workplace Excellence (AWE).  The company was honored with the Workplace Excellence Award and Health & Wellness Trailblazer Award, recognizing the company for promoting professional achievement and personal wellness at work, at home, and in the community.

As described by AWE, all award applicants undergo a rigorous assessment process led by an independent review panel of professors, PhD professionals, and doctoral candidates in business, industrial and organizational psychology, and human resources. Excellent Workplace and Health & Wellness Trailblazer Award winners demonstrated equal merit in each of the following categories: Workforce Demographics;  Management Practices;  Employee Engagement;  Corporate Social Responsibility; Diversity and Inclusion;  Total Rewards Programs and Benefits;  Health & Wellness Programs and Initiatives, and Employee Voice Survey.

“We are extremely proud to receive these two distinct awards, which help demonstrate Marriott’s enduring commitment to creating an excellent workplace,” said David Rodriguez, executive vice president and chief human resources officer.  “Marriott strives to support the personal and professional growth of all of our associates by offering a variety of work-life programs that help open doors to a world of opportunities.”

Marriott will be honored at a special awards luncheon held on June 11 at the Bethesda Marriott Hotel and Conference Center.  Seventy-three Washington, D.C.,-area businesses will be honored at the event, and more than 500 area business executives are expected to attend.

Alliance Overview:  The Alliance for Workplace Excellence provides a portfolio of services that allow employers to build excellent places to work.  Recognizing existing Excellent Places to Work, Health & Wellness Trailblazers and EcoLeaders throughout the mid-Atlantic region is one component of the Alliance’s mission.
