Podcast | CHRO, Remington: We're 'laser-focused' on making complex career mobility simple

The first of three core HR pillars at Remington Hospitality, a dynamic hotel management company that manages 128 hotels across more than 20 brands, is short but sweet: Remove complexity.

As a matrixed organization, it includes addressing the issue of talent planning and career mobility. Easier said than done, especially in a highly competitive industry for talent. But Rick Badgley, CHRO at Remington Hospitality, is more than up to the task.

Badgley joins the HR Grapevine podcast to discuss why is organization has become “laser-focused” on careers: “We have to educate them on what the career path truly can be, or else they'll leave us.”

He unpacks how the hospitality industry can address workforce gaps through education and opportunity; the importance of redefining hospitality careers by creating clear, debt-free pathways for young talent; and how innovative programs like fast-tracking high-potential employees into leadership roles help drive Remington’s success.
