Hospitality and restaurant giant Hard Rock International has earned placement in Forbes as one of America’s Best Large Employers for 2023. With this new ranking, the renowned brand has now been recognized for the seventh time since 2015.
In a press statement, Hard Rock explained that the recognition earns it a ranking among other exemplary companies in the travel and leisure industry, which encompasses hotels, resorts, restaurants, and entertainment enterprises.
“This is the seventh time the brand has been recognized with this honor since 2015 and has placed in the travel and leisure category, making Hard Rock International the top global casino entertainment company listed within the industry,” the brand said.
The 2023 list of America’s Best Large Employers aims to highlight companies “that continue to prioritize making their workplace a secure and thriving environment for their employees.” The placement comes off the heels of Hard Rock’s $100 million investment to raise the salary of their U.S. workforce, with the wage increase impacting 95 job classifications.
In partnership with market research firm Statista, Forbes compiled the 2023 list by surveying approximately 45,000 American employees working for companies that employ more than 1,000 workers in the United States.
Participants in this survey were asked questions on a variety of work-related topics such as work conditions, salary, the potential for professional growth, and their views on company image regarding their current employer.
The evaluation was based on direct and indirect recommendations from respondents who were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employer to friends and family. The final list ranks the 500 large and 500 mid-size employers that received the most recommendations.
“As a global company, we deeply value the contributions made by our team members in the United States and around the world. Our recent $100 million investment into the wages and salaries of our U.S. workforce is part of our ongoing efforts to honor and appreciate our team members,” said David Carroll, SVP of Human Resources at Hard Rock International.
“We are honored by this recognition and will never stop working on making Hard Rock a great place to work for all,” Carroll concluded.
In February, Yogonet held an exclusive interview with Hard Rock’s Keith Sheldon, President of Entertainment, in which he discussed the keys to securing major acts for the brand, the importance of entertainment to the casino environment, and what to expect from this vertical this year.
