As the top hospitality company on FORTUNE Magazine's World's Most Admired Companies list, Marriott International has a portfolio of 19 brands, 3,800 hotels across 74 countries, and a workforce of more than 325,000 dedicated associates. The business is not resting on its laurels though and is hard at work to meet the needs of its rapidly changing customer base: the next generation of travelers, gen X and gen Y. Likewise, its HR organization is also hard at work to attract the next generation of talent to serve this new customer. Learn about how Marriott's HR organization is aligning to the business by integrating digital technology into its talent acquisition and talent management initiatives. Lee will share the opportunities and challenges that have come with implementing digital and social media in a company of such scale as well as insights into where social media and digital may be heading.
