We are thrilled! Because in September 2018, we were awarded 3rd place in the Hospitality HR Award in the category "Overall HR Strategy Individual Hotels"!
How it came about...
The road to the nomination is a long one and goes back to 2011. More precisely, to the launch of Dreamwork. We have known our goal since 2011: happy employees!
We are convinced and know that a working and living environment in which people enjoy their work, can develop and actively participate in shaping their workplace has a positive effect on the happiness of each individual employee.
Our trip to Frankfurt for the award ceremony was a very special one. We were able to present our Dreamwork employee brand in front of around 500 people. We spared no expense or effort and traveled there in our Dreamwork hot air balloon. As a small hotel from the mountains, we were very unsettled by all the big German names in the business and weren't sure whether the "landing" had been a success.
The excitement was great and the surprise even greater when we were awarded 3rd prize for HR Overall Strategy Individual Hotels and to top it all off we were awarded the best presentation of the evening.
About the Hospitality HR Award:
Since 2013, the Hospitality HR Award has been the prize for exemplary employers in the hotel and catering industry in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The award recognizes innovative strategies in the categories of training, recruiting and employee retention/development as well as the best comprehensive overall HR strategies.
With the Hospitality HR Award, the initiators of the award honor hotel chains and cooperations, individual hotels and gastronomic businesses as well as the responsible players who have recognized the central role of forward-looking HR management and employer branding for their competitiveness and act accordingly.
The jury, consisting of nine industry experts from science, consulting and practice, was impressed by a large number of outstanding HR concepts - from innovative lateral entry and mentoring programs to professional employer brand models.

What is Dreamwork?
Dreamwork is our employee brand. We deliberately don't call it employer branding (which is now on everyone's lips), because it's not the employer we want to focus on. We don't want to present ourselves as an employer, but rather our wonderful team, our employees, without whom everything would be nothing!
