Flight Centre Travel Group, the parent group of FCM is proud to have officially earned Great Place to Work® Certification™ following a global employee survey.

The survey, sent to all employees around the world, asked employees what they were thinking and feeling about their job, their team and the company as a whole.

It was run by a third party, Great Place to Work who are a global authority on workplace culture and conduct the same survey with other companies all over the world.

Flight Centre Travel Group New Zealand General Manager of People and Culture, Melanie Barnett said achieving the certification is a nod to the people-focussed culture that Flight Centre Travel Group has always prioritised.

“Because employee feedback, as well as independent analysis determine the scores – it's great to know that it was our people that ultimately gave us this badge of honour.”

Additionally, certification gives employers a recruiting advantage by providing a globally recognised and research-backed verification of a great employee experience.

“This will be a fantastic tool for us to use to attract great talent to join the team as demand for travel remains high,” said Barnett.

Other FCM regions that earned certification include Australia, Cambodia, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UAE, United Kingdom, United States and Vietnam.

Kelly Thomas, General Manager of FCM New Zealand says it gives reassurance to customers that they are partnering with a company that values their workplace culture.

“Not only do our people provide expertise in travel management that’s market leading, but they also make a positive contribution towards making FCM a great place to work.

We know that customers want partners that value their team members and create an environment for them where they can achieve their full potential.

At FCM we are always striving to exceed expectations, and we’ll be working to better understand the results over the coming weeks and putting actions in place to address any areas that we can improve so we can become an even, ‘greater’ place to work.”
