The Travel Employer of the Year 2017 award will be made to the brand most praised by their staff on the WorkAdvisor website.

Reviews are posted in five key categories and employers given a star rating contributing to an overall score.

Last year’s overall winner, cruise.co.uk, also finished top of the categories for employee motivation and recommendation. Hays Travel won the awards for career development and job security, while digital agency addmustard was rated the most sociable place to work.

WorkAdvisor founder Philip Price said that a surge of votes for any company could make a big difference to the final result by the end of the year.

“Unlike the majority of awards in the travel industry which are nominated and then voted on by peers, the winners of these awards are based purely on the views of the people who really know – the people who work there,” he said.

“We urge people to go on the site and tell us what they really think of their company. We want to let the world know how great it is to work in the UK travel industry and to give travel companies real and practical feedback from their people.”

Entry is free for UK businesses and winners will be announced in January.
