As I reflect as we move into the season of thanksgiving, one word comes to mind: gratitude. Gratitude for the thousands of incredible Highgate associates who bring our purpose to life each day — and especially for the remarkable HR professionals who champion our People First culture across every corner of the globe. Our HR teams are the quiet superheroes of hospitality. They recruit the talent that fuels our growth, support our leaders through every challenge and triumph, and create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to thrive. From onboarding and cultural immersion to development programs like Highgate Academy, MentorLink, and Opening Doors Together, our HR leaders ensure that every associate experience is grounded in care, integrity, and opportunity. This year, I’ve witnessed countless examples of courage, compassion, and creativity — HR teams stepping in to guide, listen, coach, and celebrate. You are the heart behind our People First promise. To our Highgate HR family: thank you for your unwavering commitment, your empathy, and your extraordinary spirit. You are truly our superheroes without capes. Here’s to continuing to open doors together — and to all that we’ll build, learn, and celebrate the road ahead. #PeopleFirst #Highgate #HRSuperheroes #Leadership #Hospitality #Culture #Gratitude #OpeningDoorsTogether #MakeYourMark
A special shout-out to Sherry-Ann Givance who embodies the superhero of hospitality!

Dear Santa, for this year I wish they finally hired somebody in the Corporate Revenue Management who actually knows how to use Excel and knows that it is 2026, not 2006 outside. So that this year we will not have to fix almost every single formula. Thank you Santa. 🤣
I love how you're highlighting the crucial role hr plays in fostering a people-first culture, it's amazing to see companies prioritizing their associates' growth and well-being like that.
Well said, HR is often overlooked for their efforts but they are the glue that brings and keeps the team together BETTER. STRONGER. BEST!!!
