July 31, 2012 // Franchising.com // New Delhi – InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has been ranked 26th amongst “India’s Best Companies to Work For in 2012” in a study conducted by the Great Place to Work Institute, India. This marks IHG’s debut in the country’s most definitive work place survey.

“It’s an honour to be named as one of the top 50 Best Companies to work for in India”, said Chris Moloney, VP Operations, South West Asia. “We’re fundamentally a people business and it’s a competitive employment market out there, so it’s vital we set ourselves apart. It’s fantastic to be recognised for the culture we’re building here.”

Simon Manohar, HR Director, South West Asia, added, ““Our people are our brand ambassadors. They’re the reason guests love our brands and stay with us time and time again. So hiring passionate people, training them to deliver a great guest experience, engaging them in the business, and recognising everyone for their hard work and dedication is central to our employment promise. We’re delighted that this has been acknowledged by Great Place to Work.”
