There are 215 Hyatt hotels and resorts (over 90,000 rooms) in 44 countries around
the world, operating under the Hyatt®, Hyatt Regency®, Grand Hyatt® and Park Hyatt®
brands. Currently, there are an additional 30 Hyatt hotels and resorts under development,
including 11 new hotels in China. Hyatt Corporation (domestic U.S., Canada and Caribbean
hotels) and Hyatt International Corporation (international properties) are subsidiaries
of Chicago-based Global Hyatt Corporation. Global Hyatt Corporation is also the
owner of Hyatt Vacation Ownership, Inc. (timeshare), Hyatt Equities, L.L.C. (hotel
ownership), and U.S. Franchise Systems, Inc. (which franchises Hawthorn Suites,
Microtel and America’s Best Inns).
With a growing portfolio of acquisitions and an expanding workforce in the hotel
and resort industry, Hyatt Corporation has a reputation for offering upscale, global
services to guests. A growing and prosperous Hyatt will be creating thousands of
job opportunities in the coming years.
With the implementation of Web TimeOff, Hyatt was seeking to automate the submission
and approval of employee time off requests. Managers noted that in their growing
organization the time off submission/approval process was inefficient with countless
error-borne paper trails and manual processes that differed from department to department.
A need for centralized, accurate reporting of time off became apparent.
Web TimeOff allows for Hyatt employees to instantly understand their balances, identify
who is away at-a-glance and create a submission with one click of the mouse. Hyatt
Managers can approve requests easily and can generate reports at fiscal year end
in a few minutes. Hyatt Executives can rely on the comprehensive audit trails to
understand the time off taken, requested, approved and rejected. Web TimeOff has
thus centralized the time off tracking needs of Hyatt corporation and will continue
to meet the needs of its expanding workforce.
