Did you know that autistic adults are an untapped talent pool for businesses? A recent Harvard Business Review article dives into the challenges autistic people face in finding jobs and offers advice for employers on how to recruit, train, and retain autistic employees. At Shepherd Hotels, we believe our autistic employees add tremendous value to our team and to our guest experience, helping deliver our promise that guests will feel real love every time they visit The Shepherd Hotel. Our team's strengths include reliability, dependability, and a commitment to one another and to our guests. #inclusiveemployment #boutiquehotels #hoteljobs

Thank you to First Horizon Bank for sharing the founding story of Shepherd Hotels. The Shepherd Hotel, Downtown Clemson was possible because of First Horizon's unwavering support of our mission to increase employment of adults with intellectual disabilities in the hospitality industry. Thank you for helping Clemson become a "City on a Hill" for what is to come.

As we were preparing to open The Shepherd Hotel, one of our vendors (Tigertown Graphics) shared a sign hanging in their shop: it read "Be Like Tanner". The sign served as a powerful reminder to their team to embrace the same boundless joy that Tanner radiates each day. We are thrilled to see Tanner starring in the Netflix acclaimed series Love on the Spectrum. Tanner's infectious joy is touching millions worldwide, inspiring us all to embody his spirit of positivity. Let's spread Tanner's joy together! #BeLikeTanner #inclusiveemployment #loveonthespectrum #shepherdhotels #beashepherd https://lnkd.in/gfFwVWXm

Thank you, In Good Company Works, for recording a few Team Shepherd stories to help spread the word of employing adults with intellectual disabilities in the hospitality industry. Stories will go live in a few weeks. Stay tuned! #inclusiveemployment #hospitality #shepherdhotels

IIG Project Series – The Shepherd Hotel (4 of 6): Welcome to Our Family The main purpose of our design concept was to evoke a strong feeling of being cared for as part of the Shepherd family, whether it was through thoughtful service or meaningful touchpoints in the hotel. One of our favorite moments is our ✨glistening tree branch sculpture✨ that hangs within the main hotel entry lobby. This beautiful art collaboration with Kevin Barry Art Advisory is a stunning abstraction of the Shepherd’s “family tree” concept.💫 Locally sourced wood tree ring slices 🪵 frame the wall beyond, representing how each slice of the tree is different and unique, just like the team, or in this case family, at The Shepherd Hotel. 🧡 ...
