Viciniti: From Rebrand to CHPA’s 2024 Company of the Year in Just One Year
In the dynamic world of corporate housing, our team at Viciniti is honored to have been named the 2024 Company of the Year by the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA). This recognition is a testament to our achievements. It reflects our relentless pursuit of excellence, dedication to crafting unparalleled temporary housing solutions, and unwavering commitment to our core values: integrity, humility, caring, and family.
This accolade holds a special place in our hearts as it signifies our first year as an independent entity, Viciniti. We have stepped away from the franchise model and emerged as a brand that stands tall.
Why This Honor Matters
Being named the 2024 Company of the Year by CHPA in the very first year of our rebranding is a testament to our team and the strong foundation we’ve built over the years. It underscores the success of our bold decision to step out on our own, charting a path forward as a 100% independent, employee-owned company. This recognition is not just about the name change; it’s about the values, vision, and hard work that have propelled us to this point. “Winning Company of the Year validates the incredible effort our team puts in every day to make our company successful. I couldn’t be prouder of our team!” said Lynda Najera, CCHP, and Vice President of Viciniti.
An Employee-Owned Company
As an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) company, Viciniti thrives on the principle that our success is shared success. Being employee-owned amplifies our commitment to excellence and innovation, as every team member is deeply invested in the success of our clients and company. Studies have shown that doing business with an ESOP company like Viciniti can lead to higher levels of service, innovation, and dedication, as employees are more engaged and motivated to exceed expectations.
Innovative Solutions and Strategic Growth
Through strategic alliances with industry leaders, our journey from Suite Options to Viciniti has been transformative. Our decision to operate under a name we own is a testament to our dedication to innovation, community, and the needs of the digital nomad generation. Viciniti embodies our spirit and commitment to helping our clients integrate into local communities, fostering a sense of belonging, and delivering unmatched hospitality.
Launching our #StaySmart Newsletter on LinkedIn in 2023 further cements our position as an authoritative voice in corporate travel, relocation, and housing trends. These initiatives showcase our ability to innovate, adapt, and lead in an ever-changing market.
Empowering Business Journeys
Viciniti’s success over the past year is not just about rebranding or launching a newsletter; it’s about how we’ve empowered business journeys. Our involvement in local, national, and international forums—co-chairing significant industry events and participating in various CHPA networking events—demonstrates our commitment to advancing the corporate housing industry. Our expansion into international markets marks our evolution as a global player, bringing Viciniti’s unique brand of hospitality and local experiences to a wider audience.
A Culture of Collaboration and Excellence
Our partnerships with associations such as NAA, ERC, and GBTA highlight our proactive approach to shaping industry policies and practices. These collaborations ensure we remain at the forefront of developments in corporate housing, relocation, and business travel. Our active roles in these associations reflect our dedication to enriching our expertise and service offerings, ensuring we provide the best possible experience to our clients.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re reminded of the journey that brought us here and the future we’re building together. Viciniti is more than a company; it’s a community of employee-owners committed to excellence and innovation. This award is a stepping stone to further achievements, inspiring us to continue providing exceptional experiences for our guests and contributing positively to the corporate housing industry.
In our first year as Viciniti, being honored as the Company of the Year is a powerful affirmation of our direction and the bright future ahead.
