Congrats on being recognised as one of Europe’s best workplaces – what do you think was the most important factor contributing to this success?

Thank you, we are delighted to have been recognised by our colleagues across the region and Great Places to Work® as one of Europe’s best workplaces for the third year running.

At Hyatt, we have a very strong culture that is built around a shared purpose ’to care for people so they can be their best’; ‘care' comes from a place of empathy and authentic human connection. We care by truly seeing people and getting to know them as unique individuals, so we can design and deliver personal experiences.
