With the end of the year just around the corner, Hipoges celebrated its famous Winter Party 2023 theme in style. During the last day of November and the entire month of December, the company held its Winter Parties both in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville) and in Portugal (Lisbon and Porto). Once again, we had the opportunity to share and build new memories with all our colleagues in an environment outside the offices, in a space where we could all celebrate together on these very special dates.
Hipoges wanted to celebrate it in style, and after a year full of challenges and great achievements, what better way to end it by shining in style. “At Hipoges we are proud not only of our achieved objectives, but also of what makes us unique, our intangible values. “We are a company committed to excellence, efficiency, transparency, loyalty, ambition, courage and, of course, great professionalism.” For all these reasons, the theme chosen for the Winter Party 2023 by the group has been the Bright Night Party.
In addition to the Hipoges Bright Night Party 2023 theme, the company’s dinners were characterized by the Hipoges Award gala, where the winners, were voted anonymously by all the people of Hipoges, and were given their well-deserved recognition. This award is given both locally and globally and are as follows:
– Inspiration Award: that person who is always active, looking for new opportunities and challenges, and who gives their best every day.
– Commitment Award: Passionate about her work, her degree of involvement in the company is worthy of admiration.
– Make it Happen! Award: he is that all-terrain person who can do anything, exceeding expectations and who in essence is Hipoges. Everyone loves working with this person!
