Team

Best place to be – and to work!

Our vision consciously relates not only to our guests, but also in equal parts to our valued employees. Our goal is to be one of the best employers in the hotel industry! We want to create a working environment in which our employees can develop, feel good, are encouraged and remain healthy and happy.

We are heavily involved in training and development and our talent management system places a strong emphasis on developing talent.

ENVIRONMENT

Our in-house environmental group "The Green Busters" has been charged with the mission of making the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern more environmentally friendly since 2016. Within this framework, several projects have already been implemented or are in the starting blocks. We are particularly proud of the myclimate Award received in 2019 as "Pioneer of holistic sustainability in hotel operations".

We are Swisstainable!

We are officially part of Swisstainable.
Our ongoing commitment to sustainable development in our operations is strengthened by this commitment. Thus, we make a concrete contribution to the sustainable development of Swiss tourism.

Myclimate

Since 2017 we have been proud members of the climate protection foundation myclimate! Together with myclimate we determine our annual CO2 emissions and implement various measures in order to reduce it continuously. As part of the "Cause We Care" initiative our guests have the opportunity to participate in our commitment to sustainability and to make their stay our spa experience with us climate-neutral. Every "Cause We Care" contribution from our guests will be doubled by us and invested in local and global climate protection measures. 

SOCIETY & MARKET

As a Bernese hotel, it is important to us to maintain intensive relations with our external stakeholders and to play a part in society through our social commitment. Over the last few years we have established various partnerships and participate as a team in various events such as "Foodsave Bankett".

Through our cooperation with the foundations Diaconis and intact we are also involved in the area of "professional integration".
