Your Guide to Employee Benefits at Hilton Grand Vacations

In today’s job market, benefits are key to accepting an offer. While a competitive salary is important, job seekers should also consider benefits as part of the overall compensation package, especially looking out for benefits that encourage career growth and workplace flexibility.

Parental leave is one benefit that has received a lot of attention lately. On LinkedIn, the #ShowUsYourLeave campaign from theSkimm went viral as employees across the United States demonstrated how many workers had little to no parental leave (or leave for new mothers, fathers and non-birthing or adopted parents).

When companies invest in their employees and offer benefits like parental leave, employees are more likely to stay and grow within that company. For example, Google observed a drop in female attrition rates after extending paid maternity leave, and McKinsey & Company reported that individuals who took paternity leave experienced positive impact in their careers and family life.

At Hilton Grand Vacations, we put people first, offering a comprehensive suite of benefits and perks — including parental leave — to support Team Members at work and at home. We were recently recognized as a top workplace in travel and hospitality by LinkedIn for our people-first approach.

If you’re searching for a new job, consider Josh W.’s story with Hilton Grand Vacations. Josh, a social media manager, joined HGV because of his passion for hospitality. “I started as a recreation coordinator at Tuscany Village, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club , in Orlando. I love resorts and had just come from working at a theme park,” he explained. “While at Tuscany Village, I became a supervisor, assistant manager, and then the activities director. One of my top accomplishments was being part of the awesome Tuscany Village Recreation Team and winning an ARDA award for Best Recreation Team in 2017.”

Within the past few years, Josh has been able to grow his career and his family. “After 11 years at Tuscany Village, I transferred to the corporate office and joined the social media team. It’s been a big journey. I went from a pool deck to backstage at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions , and even added a family member during that time,” he said.

For Josh, access to parental leave is more than just a perk. “HGV is a company that puts Team Members first and encourages us to use our benefits. But more than that, I feel supported. Before I left for parental leave, the team at Tuscany Village threw a baby shower and invited my wife to celebrate. I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't have an amazing team along the way,” Josh said.

“I took 12 weeks of parental leave when my son was born. I am beyond grateful for that time,” he said. “It was easy to use and available for all parents, fathers, mothers and adopted parents. It’s really an amazing benefit,” he said. Hilton Grand Vacations is also notable for ranking as a top adoption-friendly workplace and offering adoption assistance and leave to bond with an adopted child.

“Parental leave is the farthest thing from a vacation. I probably worked more than I did at work,” Josh said with a laugh. “But I was able to bond and have those moments with my newborn son that I can’t get back.”

Josh and his family have also bonded by taking memorable vacations together. “Because of the travel benefits, we travel a lot. Before having our son, my wife and I took a vacation across Europe for 2 1/2 weeks and stayed at Hilton properties. Even now, our extended family can come and visit and spend time with the baby. I think it’s my family’s favorite benefit,” he said.

HGV also supports Josh as a working parent with flexible work arrangements that allow him a hybrid schedule, an option for eligible Team Members across the United States.

Most recently, Hilton Grand Vacations expanded benefit offerings with no waiting period. All eligible new hires can access employee benefits on their first day of employment , including medical, dental and vision. Impressively, HGV is currently the only vacation ownership company to offer day-one benefits to Team Members and their families.

Josh advises potential hires to keep in mind these benefits and plan to use them: “HGV offers a lot of benefits, from parental leave to travel discounts and more. Use your benefits because they’re available and an investment in yourself.”
