Throughout my career I have had obstacles to overcome, sometimes I didn't succeed but I would use this to learn more and try again. I have learnt that the phrase 'try, try and try again' is real. I always have looked at where I want to be and developed a plan to get there, sometimes I have detoured from the route but that's ok, as long as I make it in the end. Believing I will drives me forward.

What do you like about your job and the company?
Being a people centric HR Business Partner I am energised by enabling high performance through to power of our people and to do this we must understand what is important to the organisation and it greatest asset 'the people'. Only then can we meaningfully make a positive impact. This can be achieve through several initiatives such as Learning & Development, positive Employee Relations and fostering a culture conducive of our values 'Trust, Unique & Inspiring'.
Greatest achievements
I wasn't the type of student at school who desired to go to university, so I went straight into the world of work. This taught me many valuable skills which helped begin my career and work ethics. It was when I was in my 30's that I realised what career I actually wanted and enrolled myself into university whilst working full time. I then got the study bug and saw that if I really wanted something I could find a way to work towards it and get it. And now at the grand old age of 46 I am coming towards the end of another university honours degree to work towards my next career goal.

No matter the role you are applying for within TUI, just be yourself and bring your personality with you. We take a large cross section of the social community and of customers on holiday so equally its important that our colleagues and you feel comfortable in liaising and interacting with them. When I started in the role it was very different, where each crew member was like another but over the years and the transformation of TUI we have learnt that being different and unique is why our customers keep booking with us. Bringing you personality means you can interact in a way that customers enjoy, being respectful and professional does not mean you cant build a rapport and enjoy your working day with us. These skills will also enhance as you progress through your career with TUI, with each role allowing you to explore more about the differences we can make to our colleagues and customers.
