#Hotelhelden Challenge

The #HotelHelden Challenge is an annual initiative that motivates employees of Dorint Hotels & Resorts to improve their fitness while strengthening team spirit. In its sixth edition in 2024, the focus was placed on competition between individual hotel teams, leading to a significantly higher number of participants. Over four weeks, employees participated in physical activities tracked through the Teamfit app and simultaneously raised funds for charitable causes.

The fundraising goal of €24,000 was reached after just three weeks. What stood out was the commitment of the participants, who not only exceeded the WHO’s movement recommendations but were also sustainably motivated through team efforts and friendly competition. The challenge not only promoted health but also social cohesion, leading to high satisfaction and positive feedback from the employees.
