Letting your passion shine through, and letting your personality come out in your work is, for me, really important. When you enjoy your work, it is great to let that show as it helps others see that passion, and shows you are motivated and engaged by what you do. I also think it is really important to be open and honest at work at well. Let your manager and colleagues know how you are feeling, and don't be afraid to ask questions - especially in Trading, asking questions is so important in helping you learn and understand the role.

What do you like about your job and the company?

One of the most exciting things about Trading is you get to see the result of the actions and strategies you implement really quickly. It is always really satisfying to see sales improve off the back of decisions you made and being able to see the instant benefit that brings to the bottom line of the business. Trading also gives you the chance to try new things and take different approaches. No day is the same, and you can take many different actions to try and improve sales, so seeing which ones work the best and which don't means you learn new things quickly.

In my world, it's pretty simple. What a tour operator wants to achieve is to sell trips with a quality that results in satisfied and returning customers. Regardless of what role you have within the organization, this must be top of mind in all the work that is done. Within E-commerce, we do this by working data-driven, listening to the customer and always working proactively to deliver what the customer requests. A key to succeeding in this is to always try to see the situation from the customer's point of view.

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.

Head of Quality

Top Insider Advice

As Quality Assurance, we always work with that concept in mind: design, test, feedback. Don't stop any of these 3 things... ever. You can try everything; you can test and arrive to a result. If you manage to understand the potential to improve based on the result, you are in the right position to improve the quality. This will mean you have in mind the entire flow and things to improve. Don't stop yourself!
