Marriott International by early January will lay off 833 employees from its Bethesda, Md., headquarters, the company confirmed Monday to BTN.
The hotel company late last week filed with the state of Maryland a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification of the layoffs, which indicated that the layoffs would be effective Jan. 3.
Marriott didn’t address a BTN question as to whether business travel sales positions would be affected, but sent a statement confirming the layoffs, calling them part of “a strategic review of all aspects of Marriott International’s business across geographies to enhance our enterprise-wide effectiveness.”
“While always difficult, these job reductions at our corporate and continent offices will reshape the way we work and are expected to be largely in place in Q1 2025,” according to the company. “As a part of this initiative, several hundred job openings will be made available. Many affected associates are expected to apply for and be selected for these roles and will remain employed with the Company.”
Skift first reported the impending layoffs.
