Take on challenges head-on. Everyone has failed at some point and everyone will fail again. Just take time to reflect on the failures. It's the only way we can really grow as humans and evolve into the best possible version of ourselves. Having an environment that allows you to fail and learn gracefully is vital to being able to deliver the best possible work we can. This is something I really enjoy in my day-to-day work: I've never felt afraid to ask all my questions, no matter how stupid I felt they were and I was always met with respect and dignity.

What do you like about your job and the company?

For me enjoyable work starts with a great team. From my experience TUI has a really great social infrastructure with lots of colleagues who can make any work interesting. I'm currently involved in a larger project and get to know colleagues from many different countries around the world. I think this level of diversity helps a lot with finding solutions for the challenges we face in trying to replace legacy systems with unified cross-market applications. tl;dr: Our goal is it to provide great state-of-the-art solutions to unify TUI's IT landscape while having fun on the way ;)

I have never experienced a colleague saying "no", when I reached out for help, because I didn't understand or know something or had difficulties managing my work. We are all one big team, and everyone keeps looking out for each other, which is something I really missed at my last workplace. Also I feel comfortable really showing myself the way I am. I do not have to act up a persona, to fit the company, but can really be myself, as well as the colleagues can be themselves. Don't put up an act and present yourselves the way you are. You won't regret showing your true colors.

Be who you want to be. I put the time in to build myself in my career and even now I am still growing. The support and help I've got around me means I have constant help to get me where I want in my career. Even if you don't want to progress up within your role, the support is there as and when needed. Happiness is key within a career, if you aren't happy in what you are doing then it's probably not a role for you. But when you are happy in your role then that will radiate off of you.

The most important thing I have learnt working at TUI is the importance of being genuine and bringing your personality to work - it makes you feel a lot better and as everyone is treated as an individual and allows teammates to understand what works best for you. TUI as a company is incredibly supportive of this as well, and it helps to make you feel like you belong in the team and makes it more than just work.
