The Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA) was
created in 2007 with the purpose to identify and celebrate companies that make
employee engagement their genuine priority and are reflecting this at the very
core of their culture. The Award honors thriving organizations that have
attained world-class performance by making engagement a cornerstone of their
business strategy.
Gallup data shows that, while only 21% of employees
worldwide are engaged, companies winning the Exceptional Workplace Award have
engagement levels higher than 70%. This is because companies that with the GEWA
consistently place people, both employees and customers, and their values at
the center of decision-making.
“Becoming a 3 times GEWA winner demonstrates our
commitment towards embracing a culture that revolves around the experience and
wellbeing of our people,” states Melissa Salibi, Chief Human Resources Officer
Kempinski Hotels and Member of the Management Board. “Yet again we have
submitted a comprehensive application, detailing our people strategy and how we
bring that to life with engaging best practices. Doing the same as previous
years is not conducive to winning, even if we talk about consistent and sustainable
practices. What the panel of judges, selected amongst leading workplace
scientists and experts, want to see is what we have done in addition to
previous years. How we put in place new people-related initiatives that
contribute to the high engagement levels in the company.”
And she adds: “In 2024, we plan to take our focus
on engagement to new heights and become world-class in the Gallup Luxury
Database. We will facilitate our goals by conducting training specially
tailored for Kempinski and by putting in place a network of Continuous
Improvement Agents in our properties.”
