Boss of the Boss
It's always been FHG's philosophy that the Home Office works for you, the associates in our hotels! Now we are taking this philosophy to a whole new level! Introducing the "Boss of the Boss" program...

If you exemplify the FHG SPIRIT of Service everyday, you deserve the chance to be the ultimate boss and to show Chairman and CEO, Stephen Schwartz and President, Bob Habeeb your tricks of the trade. Put them to the test and see if they can keep up with what you do so effortlessly each and every shift. Train them to make beds just as fast as you or to greet guests with an award-winning smile. Stephen and Bob will work for you and they are eager to learn from the very best!

All you have to do to have the opportunity to be the "Boss of the Boss" is impress your GM with your great guest service and can-do attitude, in hopes that you may be nominated for the SPIRIT of Service award. The winners of each quarter's SPIRIT of Service award will each have their turn to be "Boss of the Boss", so keep great service alive because you never know who may take notice!
