Located in diverse cities and neighborhoods, we connect our guests with new experiences by providing wellness, fitness, dining, entertainment and technology options to make each stay unforgettable.

Leadership

We Take leadership seriously at Modus. Leadership is an attitude – it’s how you come to work every day and how you influence throughout the company. It’s not about how many direct reports you have, but about how you develop yourself and others.

We set clear expectations on leadership at Modus. These “competencies” or criteria align to our core values and provide the “what” and “how” to be a successful leader. You can expect to learn more about leadership through our weekly blog, Modus University, and reading leadership books with your team.

Start with what… We have a variety of departments that cover all aspects of the hospitality industry.

Modus University

Our internal learning mecca includes a variety of in-person classes and online training tools from industry related topics to broader workplace skills. These opportunities help our colleagues grow professionally – and personally. Here’s a Modus U curriculum snapshot:

Tuition Reimbursement
We support our colleagues who pursue additional education that relates to their trade or the field of hospitality on an annual basis.

Modus Mentorship

Leaders at Modus are matched with a mentor within the company. We’ve found this program is a powerful tool to drive our leader’s growth, engagement, and development.

Individual Mentorship
This mentorship program focuses on the development of the whole person and is driven by the mentee’s own work/life goals. Mentors focus on the person, their career, and provide support for individual growth and maturity.

Take The Lead
Take The Lead is a group mentorship geared towards first time female leaders to help them build confidence and leadership skills in their roles.

Emerging Leader Program

Our Emerging Leader Program is an immersive leadership development program geared towards recent college graduates with a degree in Hotel, Tourism or Hospitality Management. Emerging Leaders spend a year learning hotel operations and developing crucial leadership skills in this structured and collaborative program. Upon completion of the program, Emerging Leaders have the opportunity to seek a leadership role at Modus that aligns with their career goals.

We welcome current college students to join our teams as interns. Modus interns gain experience in the hospitality field while shadowing other departments, attending Modus U classes, and participating in company-sponsored events.

Team Modus Milers

As an organization, we live up to our core value by serving our colleagues, our guests and our community at large. Twice a year, our Modus Milers cycling team raises awareness and money for causes that we’re passionate about:

Bike to the Beach is a Washington DC based non-profit organization that hosts a bicycle race to raise money to support those on the autism spectrum. The race runs over 100 miles from Washington DC to Dewey Beach, DE. Modus Milers has participated in the event the last 7 years, raising $45,000!

Cycle for Survival’s indoor team cycling events raise funds that are critical for rare cancer research. 100% of every donation to Cycle for Survival is directly allocated to research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center within six months of the events. 2020 was our 8th year riding with Cycle For Survival, raising over $260,000 for this great cause!
