Director of People + Culture | HOTEL DU PONT Wilmington | Wilmington, DE

What You’ll Do:

In our hotels, there is never a dull moment. Our associates are constantly on the move, bringing the best service they possibly can. In this challenging work environment, we need someone to bolster our associates’ spirits. Think you're up to the challenge?

The P+C Director administers and manages all aspects of the hotel’s human resource’s functions to ensure that each department has the personnel, guidance, and support necessary to achieve their guest service and business objectives.

Here are just a few of the tasks the HR Director is responsible for daily:

• Direct and instruct the management staff in effective recruiting and interviewing techniques.
• Ensure that associates are developed and utilized to their maximum potential by implementing and monitoring training programs.
• Monitor the associate performance appraisal program.
• Direct and administer associates relations programs and activities such as associate recognition and service award ceremonies, social functions and general hotel meetings.

You have at least a bachelor’s degree in human resources management, business management, a similar field, or comparable experience. You have at least 2 years’ experience working as an HR Manager. You should be familiar with various human resources programs such as compensation and benefits packages, and local, state and federal. What we’re really looking for is someone with strong communication skills, the ability to work with members at all levels of the organization, and someone who is able to embody and exemplify company culture.

Be prepared to accommodate varying schedules including nights, weekends and holidays. But wait, there’s a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility, we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, F&B discounts and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.
