JRoss Hospitality Recruiters was proud to sponsor the Human Resources Award at The Hotel Association of Canada conference last week. The award is given to hotel properties that create a culture that attracts, develops, and retains highly qualified employees. That inspires, motivates and creates purpose.

The Hotel Association of Canada was pleased to honour the Toronto Marriott Bloor Yorkville hotel with the Human Resources Award for their robust employee engagement strategy. The entire team at the Toronto Marriott Bloor Yorkville has fostered an environment built around creativity, development, and growth. Through a partnership with various colleges and the Hospitality Workers’ Training Centre, the hotel has made a meaningful difference in the workplace for people living with disabilities. In cooperation with the Evergreen Yonge Street Mission and the Interval House the hotel has provided employment opportunities for at-risk youth and has nurtured meaningful opportunities for women who have survived domestic violence. These collaborations have resulted in some of their most promising associates. To quote the company itself – “success is never final”. The hotel is deeply committed to building a team of dedicated, highly qualified, and successful personnel.

Praised by staff and recognized nationally for their employee programs and benefits – the Toronto Marriott Bloor Yorkville hotel is an outstanding example of a forward-thinking workplace.
