Harvesting hidden talents ~ Troy Nunez


Just spend a few days in the Travel To Go office, and one thing you’ll notice right away is that we don’t pigeonhole our employees. That is because we don’t hire people to fill specific positions that we expect them to stay in for years to come. In fact, we’re all about developing talent and encouraging our people to learn and grow.
 
Many of our employees who now work as part of our sales and marketing teams started out as phone travel agents. Training is very important to us and we put our most experienced travel specialists in charge of training the newcomers. As for our current employees, we make sure they continue their learning curve by signing them up for cross-training. This is a great way for them to find out how other departments work, and if they’d like to move to that department in the future. Cross-training also gives our employees some insight at what other departments go through and how their department and work ethic can help or impair other employees and the company. Ensuring that our employees understand how all of the departments work together is a great way to make us all more productive and united.
 
And let’s always remember how important it is to think out of the box. We encourage every employee to do so and come up with great ideas or changes to improve our business processes. This “out of the box” mentality is what has helped our business grow more aggressively over the past year. We’re proud to have many employees with great ideas and we’re glad they feel empowered to share them with us every day.
