M&R celebrated National Wellness Week in August to encourage team members to practice better self-care, better manage the stress in their lives and develop healthier routines overall. Alan Chan, JFK area general manager, leads a rooftop morning yoga workout at the Best Western JFK Airport Hotel for the employees of that hotel, the Days Inn by Wyndham Jamaica/JFK Airport and Holiday Inn Express New York JFK Airport Area. Wellness Week activities at JFK culminated in a barbeque at nearby Baisley Pond Park featuring fun and relaxing activities for employees of the Best Western JFK Airport Hotel, Days Inn by Wyndham Jamaica/JFK Airport, Holiday Inn Express New York JFK Airport Area, Holiday Inn New York JFK Airport Area and Holiday Inn Express LaGuardia Airport. Team members at the Fairfield by Marriott New York Manhattan/Central Park gather for a group photo at the end of Wellness Week. “Wellness is certainly an effort we can all support,” said Mureka Walcott, director of the People & Culture team, adding that "a healthy lifestyle can make people more productive, not only at work, but in their lives generally.” The housekeeping staff at the Hyatt Centric Midtown 5th Avenue New York gathers to celebrate Housekeepers Week, also in August. Usually wrapped up in work, Anthony Damiano, general manager of the Hyatt Centric Midtown 5th Avenue New York, found himself wrapped up in toilet paper during the hotel’s Housekeepers Week celebration.
