Mercure Hyderabad KCP celebrates “Employee Gratitude Week”

Hyderabad, 12 th October 2021: Mercure Hyderabad KCP celebrates “Employee Gratitude Week” with an aim to acknowledge and recognize the employee’s relentless efforts in delivering the highest standards of services, contributing towards the success of the hotel. The theme of this event this year is #Care Limitless. The name of this event this year is being changed from “Celebration” to “Gratitude” with a sole intention to recognize and appreciate Heartists who have served selflessly and supported and provided their service during this pandemic. The celebration was done for three long days at Mercure Hyderabad KCP from October 4th to October 6th, 2021. 

For its staff, Mercure Hyderabad KCP organized many entertainment activities such as Tambola, Burger Challenge, Badminton competition, Zumba dance, and Tug of War as part of the countrywide celebrations at all Accor Hotels. As part of its CSR initiatives, Mercure partnered with Goonj, a non-profit organization that helps the underprivileged in society, and spent time with them, as well as celebrating the "Daan Utsav" by collecting all types of clothing from employees to give back to society and make a difference in the lives of these people.

At the cafeteria, they had put up a Punjabi-themed food festival. A modest chat show was prepared for the personnel to address the epidemic in light of it. All of the employees were entertained to a screening of the film "Bell Bottom," and the event concluded with an award ceremony and a cultural evening, followed by a gala dinner.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Soumitra Pahari, General Manager, Mercure Hyderabad KCP, said, “We are amazed by the overwhelming response from the team during the ‘Employee Gratitude Week’. The three days event is our way to show our gratitude towards our most valuable assets - our Team and the efforts that they put in to make our guests feel welcome. We have received outstanding service and support from our employees even during this pandemic. We are constantly looking for activities to bring our employees together and create a synergy within the team."
