Vacation-ownership company ranked first in the Hotel and Travel Industry category for the fifth consecutive year
ORLANDO, Fla. (May 6, 2024) – Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (NYSE:HGV) announces it has once again ranked among the top 100 companies on Dave Thomas Foundation’s “Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces” list, which recognizes organizations that strive to build families through adoption. For the fifth consecutive year, HGV was named first in the hotel and travel industry on the Foundation’s “Best By Industry” list.
“It’s always such an honor to be recognized by the Dave Thomas Foundation for our industry-leading adoption assistance benefits,” said Pablo Brizi, executive vice president, chief human resources officer & corporate affairs at Hilton Grand Vacations. “At HGV, our mission is to ‘Put People First,’ and we’re committed to offering best-in-class benefits to attract, develop and engage top talent. This benefit, along with our comprehensive parental leave program, reflects our company’s family-first culture, and we hope it will continue to encourage our team members to pursue their personal dreams.”
The company offers corporate, hourly and resort-based team members an adoption assistance benefit of up to $10,000 per child to help offset the cost of adoption. HGV also provides 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all eligible U.S. team members who have been with the company for 90 days. The parental leave program applies to birth and adoptive mothers and fathers, as well as team members who have a child via surrogacy.
“The Foundation is pleased to recognize organizations leading the way in making adoption and foster care supported options for every working parent,” said Rita Soronen, president & CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. “By offering best-in-class benefits, these organizations are demonstrating the importance of being equitable to all the ways families are formed.”
The Dave Thomas Foundation partnered with RTI International, an independent, nonprofit research institute, to survey employers across the U.S. and score participants based on three criteria: financial reimbursement, paid leave and the percentage of employees eligible for those benefits. In addition to the 100 Best list, the Foundation ranks employers by size, industry, paid leave, foster care benefits and impact.
