Barrhead Travel is not just a leading travel group celebrating 50 years of outstanding customer service across over 50 UK locations; it is an organisation that genuinely invests in its people. From traditional 'bucket and spade' holidays to bespoke worldwide adventures, its success is built on the expertise and engagement of their specialist consultants, highlighted by its, "We’ll cut the blah, so you can do the ahhh" campaign.
Barrhead Travel shows a deep commitment to employee wellbeing with 17 team members trained to FAA Level Three in Supervising First Aid for Mental Health, providing tailored support. The organisation renewed its commitment to the Wellbeing of Women Menopause Pledge, with the MenoMates employee resource group fostering an open culture.
A Fair Deal is reinforced through the "Colleague of the Month, Spotlight Recognition" programme, where winners receive a £100 voucher and a £100 charity donation. Employees also receive discounts on personal holidays and have the chance to win prizes, including fully funded familiarisation trips for top performers, rewarding contributions in a meaningful way.
The Leadership team ensures organisational clarity by consistently communicating vision and strategy through regular updates, town halls, and Q&A sessions. Leaders provide consistency in decision-making by explaining the rationale behind choices, reducing uncertainty and ensuring alignment across the workforce.
Finally, Barrhead Travel demonstrates its commitment to supporting the community by offering all employees one paid charity day per year. This supports causes like Pancreatic Cancer and Beatson Cancer Charity via events such as the Edinburgh Marathon and Glasgow Kiltwalks.
