Barrhead Travel has been named as one of the UK’s Best Companies to work for as it moves higher up the ranks in this year’s Best Companies survey and achieves two-star accreditation.
The travel agency group has ranked number 48 for the Q3 Best Large Companies National League tables, number 22 for the Northwest region, number 18 for Scotland and number 5 for the Leisure & Hospitality recognition.
Barrhead Travel is the only travel agency group to receive recognition in this quarter’s Best Large Companies tables and is the top outbound travel business in the Leisure & Hospitality tables. The group’s placements this year have respectively moved up from 98 to 48 and 16 to 5 since November 2022.
Best Companies accreditation is based on colleague engagement and feedback, based on an anonymous companywide survey.
Jacqueline Dobson, President of Barrhead Travel, said:
“We have doubled down on our commitment to our people over the last few years which has resulted in stronger team spirit, high morale and a culture of wellbeing.
“What we are doing really well is listening to feedback from our workforce and implementing positive change at pace. Investing resources in conducting surveys is essential as it gives our people an alternative platform to voice their opinion.
“I’m delighted that our people have recognised what we’re doing and that we have achieved an even higher ranking in this year’s Best Companies as a result. Barrhead Travel is, in my opinion, the best place to work in travel and we’re incredibly excited for what the next year holds.”
Last month, Barrhead Travel announced that it had doubled its Mental Health First Aiders as well as publicly signing the Women of Wellbeing pledge to support the menopause in the workplace.
