HGV has demonstrated exceptional growth and commitment to excellence, setting it apart in the vacation ownership industry. The acquisition of Bluegreen Vacations significantly expanded HGV's portfolio, broadened its offerings and customer reach to create the premier vacation ownership and experiences company. To that end, the company has implemented and enhanced several programs across its global footprint to create an inclusive environment for its team members, to serve its communities and to reduce its environmental impact.
The company’s rapid pace of innovation and expansion also did not slow down as HGV formed new partnerships with renowned brands and began its plans to rebrand the first few Bluegreen Vacations properties starting in 2025. HGV’s workforce grew twofold to approximately 22,000 team members. With many of these team members working domestically at the 50 resorts added to HGV’s portfolio, HGV executives ensured these team members were equipped with the appropriate information, support and resources to have a smooth transition.
HGV’s mission of “Putting People First” has driven the evolution of outstanding industry-leading benefit programs for team members, which include day-1 access to health benefits and 401k options, flexible work hours and a parental leave program.
In August 2024, HGV opened the ‘HGV Wellness Center’ at its global headquarters, offering a state-of-the-art fitness center and high-quality healthcare services, including annual physicals, preventative exams, and physical therapy, for over 4,000 local team members and their eligible dependents.
