Example: Hilton Exchange and the European Consultative Forum
The Hilton Exchange is the forum by which representatives of all team members exchange ideas and
communicate within the organisation. The Exchange operates at hotel level and acts as a staff liaison
committee debating important developments and decisions within the organization.
The European Consultative Forum (ECF) was set up in June 1997 as an Article 13 European Works
Council to provide for consultation and dialogue on trans-national issues. With the expansion of the European
Union, representation now spans some 20 countries representing over 28,000 team members in Hilton
International. Over the years the ECF has engaged in a variety of activities to develop their own knowledge and
skill base, including most recently Environmental Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility.
