"I am extremely excited for Choice and our franchisees, as Undercover Boss will generate significant attention for us and our family of brands," said Joyce. "This is a remarkable opportunity for Choice, and I'm thrilled that our hotels, our franchisees and our organization are going to be featured in front of a national audience of millions of people."
The Emmy Award nominated "Undercover Boss," which was the Number One new series of the 2009-2010 season, follows chief executives as they slip anonymously into the rank and file of their companies. Each week documents a different executive's undercover mission, where they are able to experience working with employees in the forefront of their company. The executives are given a new perspective on their corporation - being able to see what is running well, what may need adjustments, and working personally with the people who truly represent their company.
Other companies to participate in the new season of Undercover Boss include the Chicago Cubs, Chiquita Brands International, DIRECTV, Frontier Airlines, Great Wolf Resorts, Lucky Strike Lanes and NASCAR.
