MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL
Washington, D.C.

As the 3,000 employees at Marriott headquarters climb the corporate ladder, they can keep their positions even if they want to scale back their hours; flextime policies include a popular job-share option that lets two people work part-time to do one full-time job. Marriott also makes life easier for its workforce with a confidential Associate Resource Line, which offers timesaving information on such matters as financial planning and day care; employees can even get counseling from a social worker.
