The FINANCIAL — Marriott International, Inc., has been recognized by the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE) as one of the Top 50 Companies For Executive Women in 2013.
Marriott was ranked in the top 10 on this prestigious list, which recognizes organizations whose policies and practices encourage the advancement of women.
Around the world, women hold many powerful jobs at Marriott from president of a major operating division to global leader of sales and revenue management, as well as responsibility for some of the company’s most profitable hotels. In addition, two of Marriott’s board members are women.
Marriott was recognized for being the first in the industry to debut a formal diversity and inclusion program, as well as a leadership development initiative specifically for women. As Marriott International, Inc. said, it was also noted that the percentage of women corporate executives at Marriott International has increased 80% since 2002. “Today’s women at Marriott are very strong and confident…integrating personal and professional life with a desire to excel in both,” said Pam Ryan, general manager, Torrance Marriott South Bay.
“Resources provided by Marriott that helped me manage work and life includes great leaders who…encouraged me to take risks to make it work, as well as opportunities to network and grow through market initiatives and senior leadership training. The empowered women attending Marriott’s Women’s Leadership Conference strengthened my faith in our culture even with the many changes affecting our business and the economy. The values of integrity and fairness continue to hold as true today as 23 years ago when I joined the company. There are more career opportunities than ever for women at Marriott!”
