“The Destination Workforce® program built confidence in our team members, enabled them to communicate better with our guests, and increased their workplace satisfaction. We promoted one team member who has since completed corporate training in English, and another was recently awarded Team Member of the Month! It was time well spent and we would do it again in a heartbeat!”Soo Kim, Assistant General Manager, DoubleTree by Hilton McLean Tysons
