Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts treated 37 employees from all over the world to a trip to Switzerland, the country where the successful global hospitality brand was born.

The five-day guided Swiss adventure, which took place this month and rewarded ‘Employees of the Year’ from Mövenpick’s international portfolio of hotels, saw the group’s top employees visit many attractions including the Swiss mountains, the Cailler chocolate factory, the cities of Luzern and Zurich and the Mövenpick headquarters in Baar.

With some members of the group hailing from countries across the globe including Thailand, Sri Lanka, Jordan and United Arab Emirates, the trip provided the group with insight into Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts’ Swiss origins and values.

The event ended with a gala dinner at Mövenpick Hotel Regensdorf, hosted by Mövenpick senior VP human resources Craig Cochrane and his team, who thanked employees for their dedication and commitment: “It is your hard work that brings the Mövenpick brand to life, showing our guests across the world the essence of true hospitality and our inherent ‘Swissness’.”

Cochrane added: “We hope this trip has provided you with insight into the birthplace of our brand and the culture on which it was founded. You have inspired us with your loyalty and pursuit of excellence and we hope your visit to Switzerland has inspired you too.”

Mövenpick’s ‘Employee of the Year’ initiative was established in 2005 in recognition of exceptional work demonstrated by non-executive staff.
