Travel brands rated as best workplaces for women

A number of travel brands have been recognised as being among the best workplaces for women.

The 2023 list includes Hilton, Expedia and Flight Centre Travel Group in the ‘super large’ category employing more than 1,000 staff.

The ‘medium’ company list of firms employing between 51 and 200 employees features G Touring, Alternative Airlines and SilverRail Technologies.

The annual listing is compiled by Great Places to Work UK.

Managing director Benedict Gautrey said: “This list celebrates the workplaces that are not just providing a great work environment for all but are ensuring they’re creating a positive and supportive environment for women too. 

“Each of the companies on our list have been commended by their own female employees who have anonymously told us their workplace has gone above and beyond to ensure that women employees are treated fairly in terms of recognition, training, and promotion opportunities. 

“Ensuring people aren’t discriminated against, placing positive value on our differences, creating fair access and advancement for all, and fostering a sense of value and empowerment in employees is what being a Great Place to Workis all about.”

Adam Kemp, managing director of G Touring – parent of Travelsphere and Just You – said: “I realised when I joined G Touring in February 2023 that this was a very special place to work, the culture is outstanding, our amazing team have developed this great place to work, everyone truly cares about each other just as highly as we care for our customers.”
