What is GMU for Caption By Hyatt general managers comprised of?

GMU

The Hotel's proposed general manager, whether newly hired or promoted, must attend GMU, which provides an overview of Hyatt's brand requirements and the tools made available by us in support of these requirements. GMU consists of self-paced eLearning, virtual instructor-led training, in-person training, learning assessments, and a final virtual presentation to our leadership team. The Hotel's proposed general manager must complete GMU (including the final learning assessment and a virtual presentation to our leadership team) at least 6 months before the Hotel's opening date or within 6 months after the date of hire or promotion (as applicable) for new general managers at an existing Brand Hotel. The Hotel's proposed general manager must complete the self-paced eLearning and virtual components of GMU at least 3 months before the Hotel's opening date or within 3 months after the date of hire or promotion (as applicable) for a new general manager at an existing Brand Hotel. The required in-person training component is a 3-day workshop at our corporate headquarters in Chicago, Illinois or at a Hyatt hotel location we specify, and gives the general manager an opportunity to meet our affiliates' personnel who will be providing training. The Hotel's proposed general manager must complete the in-person training component at least 3 months before the Hotel's opening date or within 3 months after the date of hire or promotion (as applicable) for a new general manager at an existing Brand Hotel. Our SVP Global Franchise Operations & Owner Relations supervises this orientation, for which we maintain an ongoing schedule adjusting to the volume of general manager hires. General managers must consistently participate in all aspects of GMU in order to successfully complete it.

In the case of a general manager vacancy, the owner/operator must adhere to our standards related to the timing of filling the vacancy with a permanent or interim general manager. If a permanent general manager has not been identified for more than 6 months after the original vacancy, the owner/operator must identify a leader as an interim general manager to complete GMU. Once the general manager vacancy has been permanently filled, the new permanent general manager will also be required to complete GMU, unless we waive the requirement for a particular individual.
