The third annual Kemmons’ Spirit of Innovation Challenge is returning this year with idea submissions opening on April 1. As a reminder, this is a companywide program that encourages all team members to share their original, game-changing ideas to help move the Holiday Inn Club Vacations brand forward.
All ideas should support our company’s strategic Growth Roadmap and focus on any area of our business, even if it’s not directly related to the team member’s role. The winning idea will be implemented in our organization and the team member behind it will play a meaningful role in bringing their idea to life.
After earning first place in 2022, Jill Keener has helped the company implement her winning idea, Library of Knowledge. She also had the opportunity to attend our January Masters’ Trip to Punta Cana. Check out the video of Jill’s winner announcement here.
What to Expect Next
Idea submissions will open on April 1. In the meantime, our Academy of Learning and Development (ALD) team is hosting several information sessions for leaders and participating team members.
