About WholeHearted
WholeHearted; an agency dedicated to enriching the employee experience through strategic programs that align with corporate values and community needs.

Our Communities
Accor is proud to partner with like-minded organizations to find inclusive, sustainable hospitality solutions.
Caring for planet Earth isn’t something we take lightly. And we realize it isn’t just a matter of turning off lights or planting an organic garden, although these are important. Accor prioritizes six key pillars to drive our sustainability programs:
- Our guests
- Our people
- Our partners
- Our communities
- Our buildings
- Our food
By working with forward-thinking companies, we hope to encourage our guests to support our efforts in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to drive an eco-friendly vehicle, to host a green meeting, or to sample a dessert made with our own honey, you’re already taking action to save the environment in a proactive and sustainable manner. Thank you for helping us help the planet.

“I was first drawn to Wholehearted because they were different in their approach and they were aligned to our value of giving back.
I stuck with WholeHearted because the team was exceptional, every detail was taken care of .. they offered a curated experience every time.
Time after time WholeHearted has been focused on bringing my teams together in a meaningful way both virtually through the pandemic and in person. I couldn’t imagine creating anything meaningful without this team.”
