At Kimpton, we believe in human relationships as a driving force to improve people's lives. Since our company's founding over 40 years ago, we have been dedicated to creating a world full of personalized experiences that start with our employees, extend to our guests, and encompass everything we do.
Our commitment to social and environmental responsibility gives us a greater sense of purpose, which is transmitted to our employees, our guests, and the community in which we live. For us, this is not a whim; it is the DNA of our company.
1. DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND EQUALITY
At Kimpton Vividora, we value the things that make us unique and different. We encourage our employees and customers to be themselves. We celebrate each person as they are.
- We collaborate with companies that share our values, such as Illunion, a company where 40% of its staff has physical or mental disabilities, managing our laundry service.
- We assess employee satisfaction through annual surveys. We achieved a 95/100 satisfaction rating in the last survey!
- Following Kimpton's brand values, we conduct an annual fundraising campaign for the LGTBIQ+ community at risk. - To celebrate International Women's Day, we honor the women in our company with a brunch at the hotel's restaurant and create a mural in collaboration with a local artist paying tribute to women who have had a positive impact on the world.
- We take gender equality seriously, with various departments in our hotel being led by women. - We embrace diversity: we have a staff representing over 20 different nationalities.
- We are committed to training future professionals: we participate in dual training projects promoted by the Department d’Educació.
2. HEALTH AND WELLNESS
At Kimpton, we believe that true human connections start with oneself. When you are kind to yourself, you can extend that energy to others, which is why we are committed to providing a space where one can feel good to offer the best version of themselves.
At Kimpton Vividora, employees enjoy yoga classes on the terrace and receive discounts on their health insurance, which includes coverage for pets. Customers can rent bicycles, and all rooms have yoga mats.
