Success Metrics
About The World of Hyatt
Hyatt Hotels doesn’t require any introduction. They are a global leader in the hotels industry with 67 years of innovation and excellence under their belt. But, even global leaders need to stay connected internally and that’s where Social Walls stepped in.
For the past year, one of Hyatt properties in Switzerland used Social Walls to enhance employee communication.
Strengthening Internal Communications at Hyatt Hotels
In global enterprises, one of the most common disconnects isn't with customers; it's between teams.
Front-desk staff don’t always know what marketing is up to. Operations might miss the big win from F&B. Amidst deadlines and the fast-paced environment of hospitality, important updates like loyalty programs, special offers, and promotions can easily slip through the cracks. When communication isn’t streamlined, teams lack the information they need to deliver exceptional service. Statistically speaking, almost 74% of employees feel as though they’re missing out on company information and they wanted to bridge this gap.
Afterall, the hallmark of a great company is that they know that employee-productivity increases by 20-25% in organisations where employees are connected. Thus, they were looking something to improve employee communication
Hyatt and Social Walls: Turning Employee Stories into Shared Moments
Hyatt deployed Social Walls across their property, displaying real-time, employee-generated content on digital screens. From behind-the-scenes moments to shoutouts and setup highlights, teams gained visibility into what was happening beyond their own departments. It worked as a great ice-breaker where employees were kept informed about new initiatives, loyalty programs and discounts 24*7 to keep the customer experience upto the mark.
The results were almost immediate :
- Teams asked each other, “Who created that?”
- New hires discovered team dynamics through content.
- Departments started exchanging feedback, praise, and ideas
Total Images - 147, Total Videos - 125, Total UGC - 272, Average Recommendation Score - 73%
These results reflected more than numbers; they captured a moment that turned into a revolution. Social Walls became a conversation starter and a recognition engine. Employees not only viewed updates, but interacted with each other, sharing updates and creating a more connected workplace culture.
What the Hyatt Team said :
- It’s a great way to display what’s happening across our brand and properties. Whether it’s an event, a special activation, or everyday highlights, seeing content from 1,300+ hotels all in one place was a powerful learning tool.
