Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company Selects Infinium to Support its New HR Initiatives
HYANNIS, Mass. - Infinium Software
Chocolate magnate Milton S. Hershey founded the world famous Hershey bar and then built a town for the employees of his chocolate company. He also built Hersheypark, The Hotel Hershey, and Hersheypark Arena/Stadium for the residents and visitors of the town. These three businesses, along with many others, are proudly owned and operated by Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company, a quality amusement, entertainment, hotel, and related-service company that enhances the Hershey name and makes Hershey a premiere destination. A privately held company, Hershey Entertainment & Resorts was founded in 1927 when Milton Hershey separated his chocolate manufacturing operations from his other businesses.
Today, Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company is an innovative entertainment and hospitality company dedicated to preserving the legacy of Milton Hershey; it has been voted among the Top 50 Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania.
In an effort to continue in this tradition of innovation and growth, Hershey Entertainment & Resorts, in partnership with Infinium, is embarking on an aggressive HR initiative that, today, includes: job applications on-line, on-site input capabilities in a kiosk environment, virtual routing capabilities, applicant tracking, and secure collaboration capabilities.
