Homestead is a company that values guest and associate service, and profitability. Career growth often comes through both lateral and upward moves that challenge and develop new skills. When opportunities arise throughout the company, our associates are considered first, based on his or her demonstrated skills, performance, location, and desire. Homestead's service-profit champions are our best source of management talent and future leadership. Upward Bound is an intensive, two-week property operations course for the training of new Area Managers, General Managers and Assistant General Managers.
New managers meet the senior officers and learn their vision for the company's future.
The evening group-study builds a support structure that assists each manager in preparing to certify in the required eight competency modules. Relationships formed last long after the course has been completed. Highlights and a complete PDF file of the 1998 Annual report, as well as quarterly earnings reports and corporate press releases are available on this web site. Homestead does not currently pay a dividend. The Board of Directors reviews this policy on an annual basis any future decisions will be announced in a public press release.
