Wynn Las Vegas Becomes Only Casino Resort In Las Vegas To Earn Great Place To Work Certification

Published

on

 

Wynn Las Vegas announces it has been certified as a ‘Great Workplace’ by the independent analysts at Great Place To Work®, the global authority on evaluating corporate culture and employee fulfilment. The certification is based entirely on anonymous feedback from an extensive survey asking employees to describe their feelings about working at Wynn.

“We believe that true luxury is defined by people, not buildings, and so we have focused on our Company’s greatest asset: our employees.  One of our guiding principles is to ‘care about everyone and everything,’ which makes our Great Place To Work certification very meaningful to me,” said Wynn Resorts CEO Matt Maddox. “I believe that no team is more committed to excellence than ours, and I am fortunate to work alongside such caring and talented professionals.”

The high score indicates how proud employees are to be a part of the Wynn team and the strong sense of pride they have in how resort guests describe the service they deliver as “excellent.” Additional top scores showed that employees are proud to tell others where they work, are always made to feel welcome in the workplace, appreciate the camaraderie and care that Company leadership encourages among co-workers, and feel good about the many ways Wynn provides them with opportunities to contribute to the local community through charitable efforts.

When Matt Maddox took over as CEO 18 months ago, Wynn began to invest heavily in identifying, developing, and training employees to create life-long careers. This comprehensive approach is supported by landmark professional development initiatives, educational opportunities, and employee benefits, including:

  • Access to on-site leadership skills-training and self-development classes
  • Executive Mentor Program pairing managers with executives to accelerate professional growth
  • A diverse workplace with an environment that fosters inclusion and acceptance
  • Introduction of The Wynn Employee Foundation Scholarship
  • Paid parental leave and financial assistance to help with early childhood expenses
  • Employee Assistance Program with extensive work-life resources
  • Charitable matching program, which is now the highest of any resort company, providing a dollar-for-dollar match up to $50,000 per employee, per year, to causes closest to employees’ hearts

The Great Place To Work certification adds to the growing list of workplace accolades Wynn Resorts and Wynn Las Vegas have received in the last year, including:

  • Highest-scoring resort company in the world by Forbes Travel Guide, as well as maintaining more Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star awards than any other independent hotel company in the world
  • The highest-ranked casino resort on FORTUNE’s list of 2019 World’s Most Admired Companies
  • Named among the Best Employers For Diversity by Forbes, one of only 13 hotel companies to be recognized in these rankings

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series

Published

on

Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.

Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.

The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.

The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.

Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.

Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and  through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.

“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
