Equal Opportunity Employer Policy Statement

A Notice and Invitation to All Team Members and Applicants

Hilton has been and will continue to be an equal opportunity employer.  To ensure full implementation of this equal opportunity policy, we will take steps to ensure that: 

• Persons are recruited, hired, assigned and promoted based on merit without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected characteristic in accordance with applicable federal, state, or local laws and ordinances.  
• All other personnel actions, such as compensation, benefits, transfers, layoffs and recall from layoffs, access to training, education, tuition assistance and social recreation programs are based on only job requirements and administered without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected characteristic in accordance with applicable federal, state, or local laws and ordinances.
• Team Members and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have: (1) filed a complaint; (2) assisted or participated in an investigation, compliance review, hearing or any other activity related to the administration of any federal, state or local law requiring equal employment opportunity; (3) opposed any act or practice made unlawful by any federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity or (4) exercised any other right protected by federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity. 

The Head of HR Compliance within HRX has been assigned the overall responsibility to implement Hilton’s legally required affirmative action programs related to individuals with a disability and protected veterans.  As part of that responsibility, the Head of HR Compliance will implement and administer an audit and reporting system to ensure compliance with Hilton’s affirmative action obligations, periodically measure the effectiveness of the affirmative action programs, and identify any areas for potential remedial action, as appropriate. 

If you, as one of our Team Members or as an applicant for employment, have any questions about this policy or would like to view portions of the Company’s affirmative action programs for individuals with a disability or protected veterans, please contact HRX@hilton.com during regular business hours. This is also a reminder that Team Members may update their disability status at any time in TMX or by contacting your HR partner.

The Company’s top United States executive endorses this equal opportunity and affirmative action policy statement and asks for all personnel to assist and support equal employment opportunity for all.
