🤝 What if your employees' skills became a real lever for social impact?

At the 360 Serve conference, held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel de la Paix in Geneva, Alter Start was delighted to organise a skills-based volunteering session with the CEOs of Marriott International hotels in Switzerland.

How it works

  • 🎤 5 minutes to pitch your project
  • 💬 15 minutes of questions, advice and professional feedback

A direct, concrete exchange on feasibility, value proposition, commercial potential… with an extra challenge for our entrepreneurs: thinking about how their project could apply to the hospitality sector.

Why skills-based volunteering?

  • 👥 For employees: giving meaning to their skills, discovering other journeys and strengthening engagement.
  • 🏢 For the company: turning ESG commitments into concrete action, mobilising in-house expertise and generating a directly measurable social impact.

At Alter Start, we design tailor-made formats: Impact Days, Citizen Days, ESG days, Associate Weeks, team building… Skills-based volunteering, job shadowing or creative workshops: the goal is always the same — putting skills to work for the common good and for independence.

🙏 Special thanks to Henri Pierre-Jacques of the Geneva Marriott Hotel and Antoni von Planta of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel de la Paix for hosting and supporting us, and to all the CEOs for the quality of their exchanges and feedback.

👉 Would you like to mobilise your employees' skills for a concrete impact? Let's talk and design your next Impact Day together: info@alterstart.org
