AUSTIN, TX – When we rang in the New Year for 2020 almost a year ago, coronavirus and COVID-19 were not words we expected to learn.
Tuesday, December 15th, 2020
AUSTIN, TX – When we rang in the New Year for 2020 almost a year ago, coronavirus and COVID-19 were not words we expected to learn. Quarantine, cancelled, postponed and social-distanced became a way of life. Even though many things have changed in the world, the CWS culture of giving back still holds strong. In response to the need around us, CWS established the COVID Relief Program which provided financial assistance to individuals in need that were directly affected by the coronavirus.
The program allowed associates to identify affected individuals that they would like to make a financial donation to and submit their request to CWS for consideration. Once approved, the associate would submit their donation anywhere between $25 to $1200 to CWS and in turn CWS would match the amount and issue a check for the total amount to the individual in need.
Made possible by the generosity of the 69 CWS associates, to date CWS has distributed $95,520 to 76 nominated individuals who were impacted by the coronavirus.
One of the recipients, Christy DeLeon, said, “The COVID relief money CWS donated to our family really helped out by going directly to bills during this difficult time. We currently have a sophomore in college and a senior in high school, so the bills are unending. Both my husband and I were furloughed at the onset of COVID back in March & April, then I was laid off on June 30th after a 23-year long career with my company. My husband is still on furlough and will be into this next year with no exact return date, therefore any help has been much appreciated. We are very thankful to have received the donation and consider it a true blessing to have been chosen as a recipient.”

AUSTIN, TX- At CWS Corporate Housing, we have a dedicated business continuity and emergency response team and review our plans annually.
Disaster planning and business continuity are essential for any business, especially those operating in areas where storms or natural disasters are common. Planning allows your business to respond more quickly and effectively when an incident occurs. More importantly, it helps you keep your employees and clients safe and reduce damage to your physical property and information.
At CWS Corporate Housing, we have a dedicated business continuity and emergency response team and review our plans annually. We focus on three key elements —resilience, recovery, and continuity. Through this level of planning, we can provide best practices and processes, ensure a safe and healthy work environment for employees, make sure we are aligned with our partners, and ultimately keep our customers safe. Below we share elements of an effective disaster recovery plan, based upon our experience and insight.
All effective disaster plans require resources dedicated to planning for and managing an incident. It’s essential to identify a specific team responsible for assisting in the event of the disaster. Each team member should have a clear role, plus access to training and the resources necessary to support this role. A good disaster recovery plan includes preparedness steps that take place well in advance of any disaster and calls for practice through drills like building evacuations, safety protocols, and training on how to deal with threats.
At CWS, we have a Strategic Risk Management Team for this purpose. During an event, the team meets every hour to determine contingency, safety, and communication plans. The team holds responsibility for contacting our guests by phone to determine their location and situation and provide assistance. Our plan establishes a Command Center to coordinate and assist in all aspects of operations and business contingency in case of an emergency. This encompasses working with our partners, securing emergency lodging for guests and employees, and making travel arrangements as necessary.
When it comes to disaster planning, communication is an essential piece of the process before, during, and after an event. Communication among the internal team and external clients is key, as each impacted should be aware of the response. An effective disaster recovery plan includes communicating at three critical times:
At CWS, we take a robust, multi-pronged communications approach. Our internal team communicates regularly over the intranet and email in advance of any event to coordinate. We communicate with our guests via email and other electronic means to provide storm tracking information, preparedness materials (for example, checklists), and emergency numbers. During an event, we utilize phone tree reporting and on-demand communications, including hourly updates regarding road closures, renter’s insurance, flood levels, and property access. Our communications encompass that with outside vendors such as suppliers, transportation options, properties, and hotels. After an event, we keep the lines of communication open to assist guests and address any challenges as we move back to normal operations.
It’s essential to have plans in place for your “property” in the event of a disaster. Property not only refers to physical property but also digital property and intangibles like data and electronic information. In events you can anticipate such as storms, securing property includes monitoring conditions of physical buildings including the inventory inside. Advising clients on how to prepare themselves through checklists and educational materials helps minimize loss, as well. Some standard best practices include unplugging and securing important electronic devices, offering hotspots, emptying fridge/trash if leaving the property, taking photos before an event (for insurance purposes), and setting up call forwarding.
At CWS, our plan includes details on how to secure physical inventory or devices necessary and advice for our guests to bring items indoors into sheltered or secure places. We put a lot of effort into protecting our property essential to our business operations to minimize cost and exposure for our clients and uphold continuity immediately following an event. We use cloud-based technology and telecommunications, mobile workstations, and integrated web-based application solutions, which enable us to stay online during disasters and support our employees and guests. CWS also secures additional inventory in the event our inventory is damaged, and guests cannot return to their apartment home.
It’s essential to create additional resources and procedures to account for disasters occurring during the outbreak of COVID-19. These may involve creating a new disaster recovery plan or serve as an addendum to an existing plan. To account for the impact of the global pandemic, start by reviewing official guidelines on health and safety as they apply to your specific business and geographic location. Then, weave in additional precautions your business and clients should take as a result.
At CWS, we took immediate, proactive precautions against COVID-19 when it first hit and continue to provide a comprehensive response. We adhere to industry guidelines and requirements set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and provide emergency action plans as well as communication around governing procedures. During a disaster, it may not be possible to adhere to the social distancing guidelines; however, our employees and vendors will continue to utilize masks and gloves. The health and safety of our staff and clients is always a top priority, so we have accounted for pandemic health guidelines in our disaster planning procedures.
We have a Pandemic Support Team composed of key decision-makers responsible for guiding action, implementing procedures, and procuring supplies like personal protective equipment. The team meets weekly to monitor the ongoing situation and implement or adjust all COVID-related policies.
Our duty of care to CWS clients and guests includes providing comprehensive, proactive disaster recovery and business contingency planning. Being prepared in advance helps mitigate the effects of unavoidable natural disasters, keeps employees and clients safe, and reduces interruption of operations. For more information, don’t hesitate to contact us today.

AUSTIN, TX- CWS Corporate Housing, a Round Rock (Austin)-based corporate housing leader, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire its competitor Gables Corporate Accommodations [GCA] from its parent company Gables Residential.

AUSTIN, TX- CWS Corporate Housing, a Round Rock (Austin)-based corporate housing leader, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire its competitor Gables Corporate Accommodations [GCA] from its parent company Gables Residential. The investment expands the national footprint for CWS Corporate Housing while providing exclusive access to more apartment homes than anyone in the U.S. market.
“CWS Corporate Housing is growing,” said Tracy Hayes, Founder and President of CWS Corporate Housing. “With the addition of Gables Corporate Accommodations to our current portfolio we are positioned for greater growth opportunities, which will allow for further investment in the company ensuring our ability to deliver even better service to our clients.”
Pam Wade, Vice President of Gables Corporate Accommodations said, “I have the utmost respect for CWS Corporate Housing, and what they have built. Our companies share a similar culture, and I am truly excited about the opportunities available to our associates and our clients as we move forward together driven to be the best corporate housing company in the industry.”
Corporate clients of both companies will experience an immediate benefit to better serve their nationwide needs with access to a much larger housing inventory in high-demand locations. CWS Corporate Housing will now have exclusive access to 46,000 apartment homes in 165 communities across 17 U.S. markets plus access to many of the 15,000 third-party-owned apartment homes managed by Gables Residential. CWS Corporate Housing currently has offices in Austin/Round Rock, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Midland/Odessa, San Antonio, Charlotte, Raleigh, Atlanta, and New Orleans. With the addition of Gables Corporate Accommodations, the footprint expands to Seattle, Denver, Washington D.C./Virginia, Boston, and Florida.
“With all of the changes occurring in the short-term rental space, we believe that a larger company has more opportunities for success in this very competitive environment.” said Dennis Rainosek, Senior Vice President of Portfolio Management for Gables Residential. “However, bigger is not always better. We felt strongly that any transaction required like values and a similar company culture for both our clients and our associates. We recognized that CWS Corporate Housing was the company in the industry whom we would best align with on both of these fronts.”
Hayes added, “Bringing the best of the best together is a competitive advantage for us as we can provide significant benefits to our corporate clients. Combining resources brings together inherent efficiencies, reduces infrastructure overhead, and allows us to focus even more on our service deliverables across the country. Ultimately, we are looking to set the standard for our industry, and this acquisition puts us in the best position to be the corporate housing provider of choice.”
CWS Corporate Housing will assume ownership once the sale is closed, which is anticipated by the end of November.

Forum for Expatriate Management (FEM) Americas EMMAs (Expatriate Management & Mobility Awards), named CWS Corporate Housing Highly Commended within the Best Vendor Partnership: Corporate Organization & Specialist Provider category, along with Shell and Cartus, at a glittering gala dinner at the Marriott City Center, Dallas TX.
The FEM EMMAs are the premier awards for the global mobility and International HR industry and on Thursday night, following a highly successful two-day Summit, key figures, leaders and companies gathered to celebrate the brightest and best in the Americas region.
Claire Tennant-Scull, Global Director of Content & Marketing at FEM said: “The EMMAs are the premier Awards ceremony for Global Mobility in the Americas and across the globe, with the greatest breadth of categories for both corporate professionals and service providers. This year more than ever too, I think we can claim that our Summit and Awards truly reflect global mobility right across the Americas, as we have seen a huge increase in entries from all parts of North America as well as Latin America.”
“EMMAs entries are rigorously judged by a team of fiercely impartial, highly experienced, senior figures in the industry, who are drawn from a range of disciplines across the Americas region and who give up their own free time to carry out a very thorough and demanding process. So, these awards carry tremendous kudos.”
“This year too, we have received entries from individuals and companies who have never taken part in the EMMAs before, so it’s invigorating to have so many new faces at the awards and to see how the industry is developing and bringing on new talent. I think the results were very interesting, and reflective of the change that is occurring across the industry. We were so pleased to receive such good feedback on many of the entries from the judges.”
This year the FEM EMMAs saw entries across 22 categories, and the independent judging panel made up of industry experts remarked on the high standard of the entries. Judged against a strict set of criteria, the competition for this award was fierce.
“I am proud of the partnership between CWS, Shell and Cartus,” said Tracy Hayes, President of CWS Corporate Housing. “This project was a success because all three companies came together as a team. With the combination of innovative ideas, willing team members and hard work, we were able to provide the best experience to our guests in a completely new setting.”

The FEM EMMAs are the premier awards for the global mobility and International HR industry and on Thursday night, following a highly successful two-day Summit, key figures, leaders and companies gathered to celebrate the brightest and best in the Americas region.
Claire Tennant-Scull, Head of Content at FEM said: “The FEM EMMAs really are the gold standard awards for the global mobility and international HR industry. They are the only truly global, yet region-specific awards with the greatest breadth of categories for both corporate professionals and service providers.”
“EMMAs entries are rigorously judged by a team of fiercely impartial, highly experienced, senior figures in the industry, who are drawn from a range of disciplines across the Americas region and who give up their own free time to carry out a very thorough and demanding process. So these awards carry tremendous kudos. It’s so important to receive recognition among your peers for innovation and hard work and so I think the winners and all those on the shortlist should feel extremely proud.”
“This year, we have received entries from individuals and companies who have never taken part in the EMMAs before, so it’s invigorating to have so many new faces at the awards and to see how the industry is developing and bringing on new talent. I think the results were very interesting and we were so pleased to receive such good feedback on many of the entries from the judges.”

The judges commented on CWS Corporate Housing’s entry: “CWS Corporate Housing delivered strong results and innovation in a year of unusual duress due to weather emergencies. Throughout they sustained their focus on client service, community responsibility and public service.”

America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000
For the 8th Time, CWS Corporate Housing Appears on the Inc. 5000 list,
Ranking No. 4968 with Three-Year Sales Growth of 41%
NEW YORK, August 17, 2016 – Inc. magazine today ranked CWS Corporate Housing NO. 4968 on its 35th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.
“Any kind of growth is always accompanied by challenges, but our team has established innovation and growth by finding ways to say yes to the impossible,” says Tracy Hayes, President of CWS. “In an industry where domestic relocation has been consecutively flat, I’m so proud of CWS for providing our clients with exceptional service while developing long-term relationships. Our growth would be impossible without a committed team, loyal clients, and devoted partners.”
The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
“The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 18 through 20, in San Antonio, TX. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as best-selling author and strategist Tony Robbins, SoulCycle co-founders Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice, Cornerstone OnDemand founder, president and CEO Adam Miller, Marvell Technology Group director and co-founder Weili Dai, and New Belgium Brewing co-founder and executive chair Kim Jordan.

CWS Corporate Housing was awarded the Outstanding Volunteer Group of the Year at the annual League of Volunteers ceremony for their National Day of Caring event with GRACE Grapevine. CWS National Day of Caring is a one day event designed to create unity while CWS Team members make a difference together as a team.
“We realize the nature of our business prevents us from shutting down completely and taking a day to volunteer as a team, but we also recognize the reward when you have the opportunity to see something within your team members you would probably not have noticed within the confines of an office environment. With the core of our business revolving around the ability to provide creative solutions, we had to get creative in finding ways to volunteer together as a company while still operating our business” said Tracy Hayes, President.
On October 22nd 2015 CWS volunteered at bone marrow hospitals, nursing homes, soup kitchens, food pantries, repaired apartment units for transitional housing organizations, made, baked, and worked a lemonade stand for a fund raising event, volunteered at schools, individuals volunteered on their own, and continued the traditional of Brett’s Blankets.
Their philanthropic program, BRIDGE, is designed to recognize volunteerism and encourage growth, leadership, creativity, and community involvement among their teams. The sky is the limit when it comes to the company’s philanthropic efforts, the program is structured in a unique way that offers team members an opportunity to be project managers, event coordinators, and chief executive officers of community service. In 2015, CWS team members volunteered at hundreds of organizations and accumulated over $96,870 in funds which go towards the local communities.
The 2016 National Day of Caring is scheduled for October 20th. If you are interested in more information or would like to participate in the experience, please contact Ashley Schenk directly at aschenk@cwshousing.com.
