“Managing the HR function for Fareportal, one of the fastest growing travel companies in the world with more than 2,500 employees in five countries, is a herculean task,” commented this year’s Global Business Excellence Awards judges. “Fareportal’s HR team rose to the challenge and implemented a number of new initiatives for recruitment, talent management and employee well-being that have transformed the business. Staff satisfaction rose by 25% and global staff attrition has been maintained at the exceedingly low rate of 5%. With the new professional HR services behind them, staff are now more productive, focused and have generated some great innovations for clients.”
Global Business Excellence Awards, one of the world’s highest profile awards, pride themselves on having a large panel of independent expert judges who select winners according to strict criteria for each category and sector; focusing on financial results, innovation, customer, employee, investor and community benefits. The awards attract a wide range of entries from across the world, from large international companies such as Heathrow Airport, Microsoft, Portugal Telecom and Royal Bank of Scotland to dynamic and innovative start-ups.
“This award is particularly exciting for us, as it rewards our 75-person global HR team, who work tirelessly every day to ensure each of our employees globally feels fulfilled, challenged and happy at work and for that reason better able to serve the needs of our customers,” said Prev Venugopal, senior vice president and head of human resources at Fareportal, the parent company of popular online booking site CheapOair. “Every day we strive to create the perfect trip for our customers and this award provides confirmation that we are progressing in the right direction.
