MCLEAN, Va. - Hilton has announced the recipients of its 2025 Thrive Sabbatical and Thrive Reset programs, designed to support Hilton team members' professional, physical and mental well-being by providing time to pursue meaningful experiences or recharge.
Now in its ninth year, these programs are designed to allow Hilton team members worldwide to focus on their well-being by pursuing personal passions, giving back to their communities or taking a pause to recharge.
