Why It's on the Top 50: A perennial Top 50 winner, the hospitality giant is particularly strong in Human Capital and Supplier Diversity.
Diversity Strengths: Marriott spent 13.25 percent of its Tier I (contractor) procurement budget with minority- and women-owned companies, compared with a Top 50 average of 9 percent and a national estimate of 2 percent or less.
Marriott has 11 strong employee-resource groups distributed throughout the various regions. These groups have been in existence for more than 10 years, are funded by the company and have senior executives involved in each one. They are used for recruitment, retention and marketing to traditionally under-represented groups.
The hospitality chain also has very strong mandatory diversity training for its entire U.S. work force, available every month. The training emphasizes culturally competent customer service. Marriott also has generational-diversity training.
Marriott spent 36 percent of its philanthropy budget on charitable donations aimed at traditionally under-represented groups, compared with a Top 50 average of 29 percent. Charities Marriott helps include the Urban League, the United Negro College Fund and the Hispanic College Fund.
