ORLANDO, FLA.—Hilton Grand Vacations Inc., the premier vacation ownership and experiences company, has yet again been ranked among the top 100 companies on Dave Thomas Foundation’s “Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces” list, which honors organizations that support its employees in building their families through adoption and foster care. For the sixth consecutive year, HGV leads in the hotel and travel industry on the Foundation’s “Best By Industry” list.
“It’s an incredible honor to be recognized once again by the Dave Thomas Foundation for our exceptional adoption assistance benefits,” said Mark Wang, CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations. “This award underscores our unwavering commitment to supporting our team members at every stage of life. Our adoption assistance and parental leave programs exemplify our family-first culture and our dedication to helping team members achieve their personal goals and dreams outside of work.”
The company offers corporate, hourly and resort-based team members an adoption assistance benefit of up to $10,000 per child to help offset the cost of adoption. HGV also provides 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all eligible U.S. team members who have been with the company for 90 days. The parental leave program applies to birth and adoptive mothers and fathers, as well as team members who have a child via surrogacy.
“We know that these benefits can play a role in a family’s decision to grow through foster care or adoption,” said Rita Soronen, President and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. “The organizations recognized this year demonstrate that these supports are not optional perks—they are essential elements of a workplace that values and strengthens families.”
The Foundation partnered with RTI International, an independent, nonprofit research institute, to survey employers across the U.S. and score participants based on three criteria: financial reimbursement, paid leave and the percentage of employees eligible for those benefits. In addition to the 100 Best and Adoption Advocates lists, the Foundation ranks employers by size, industry, paid leave, foster care benefits and impact.
