EmployeeRecognition

HMSHost has just received esteemed recognition by Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) with an Airport Concessions Award for the Best Employee Recognition Program.

Fostering a culture of appreciation, caring and inclusion is one of our core philosophies at HMSHost.  The goal of our recognition programs are to recognize and reinforce our appreciation for our associate’s efforts, performance, time and passion for service. As an outcome, we know that these things help to create a culture of engagement, and happy, engaged associates are more productive, stay longer, treat guests better, and just generally provide a better experience for all of those who they interact with.

HMSHost’s associates are what distinguish us from our competitors and we appreciate the importance of recognizing the outstanding work being done in our airports. HMSHost’s employee recognition program looks to reward those associates with a passion for teamwork, guest service and hospitality that is noticed by not only their team but by guests, airport authorities, and brand representatives. Below is a summary of these recognition programs.
