“Colleague-Generated Content”: TUI

  • Slogan “Let’s TUI it” sums up what working in one of the leading tourism companies is all about
  • Currently 950 job vacancies in holiday destinations and source markets

After three years of the corona epidemic, tourism is back. The people want to travel and that's why the company is increasing teams. There are over a thousand vacancies in holiday destinations and the source markets of the tour operators. TUI is updating its employer branding due to this background. The focus is on authentic content from employees which they share on their own social profiles. They are seen as particularly trustworthy by surveys.

We are focused on authenticity with the realignment of our employer branding. Employees give feedback on their work at the company. From the beginning, our colleagues were involved. Both internal and external branding of the employer is done. Potential new employees and our own colleagues are addressed by it. It shows what it's like to work for the group in a way that's easy to understand.

The newly designed employer branding is launched in a video that is based entirely on colleague-generated content. The ambassador programme will give employees ongoing insight into their work. Out of the 61,000 employees at the company, more than 25 thousand are on the professional networking site. The social media training programme is already established by the company. More than 2000 employees have participated.

The slogan is an important part of the employer brand. Working in a tourism company is all about creating unique experiences for travellers, having fun as part of a team, taking the initiative on the job to solve problems, and great flexibility in terms of one's own career and place of work. These aspects were fed back by employees in an internal survey.

The concept for the new employer branding was developed by the agencies.
