Inclusion enterprises are companies in the general (primary) labour market. They are in competition with other companies. Inclusion companies are represented in a wide variety of sectors: from industrial manufacturing to services, trade, crafts, multimedia, IT companies and hotels and restaurants, as in the case of the “Haus vom Guten Hirten”.
What distinguishes us as an inclusive company is that we ensure the inclusive and equal participation of people with disabilities in working life. Market-oriented business with an inclusive core—this is the short positioning of our company.
The results report of the MehrWirkung study, published in May, examined the impact of inclusive enterprises and how this can be measured as social added value. Die Ergebnisse sind ebenso beeindruckend wie ermutigend. (The study and its results are available for download here).

In summary, the most important finding of the impact study is that positive effects could be measured in all nine fields of the impact compass (see below the overview from page 35 of the study).

As part of the overall economic system, inclusive enterprises fulfil an important social function for all stakeholders. In order to promote this effect, the inclusion companies have joined forces in the Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Inklusionsfirmen e.V. (Federal Association of Inclusion Companies), of which we, the Hotel Haus vom Guten Hirten, are also a member.

Conclusion: Inclusion works! We are proud to be part of this network—just like you as our guest.
