Hyatt Regency Chicago Passport Pride sweepstakes also kicks off the announcement of Hyatt Regency Chicago’s involvement in HyPride, a global employee network group for members and supporters of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
Hyatt has partnered with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to promote Hyatt and Hyatt Regency Chicago as a welcoming company and hotel for all employees with an inclusive environment, which values and respects others regardless of gender identity. Chicago is one of seven cities that has groups of LGBT associates and supporters who will volunteer at Pride events around the country this month.
As a company, Hyatt has a longstanding commitment to supporting LGBT equality and was recently named one of the “Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality” for its eighth consecutive year as a result of the 100 percent rating it earned on the 2012 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), an annual survey administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which is America’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization.
Hyatt is globally recognized as a company that is LGBT friendly for guests and associates and fosters an environment that enables all associates of the LGBT community to perform to their fullest potential by offering a support network providing opportunities for personal and professional growth. Through this support, Hyatt will further its mission to be the preferred hospitality brand for employees, guests and owners.
