Maritime Travel named “Best Employer Canada” by Mercer
Maritime Travel has been recognized as a Mercer Best Employer Canada for 2024.
Mercer’s annual assessment identified Maritime as excelling across critical people factors – employee engagement, and the organization’s agility, engaging leadership, and talent focus, according to a press release.
The award recognizes organizations that have transformed their people practices to drive better business results.
Part of Mercer’s measurements involved an independent survey of all Maritime Travel employees.
“We know that our travel agents are exceptional team members,” said Gary Gaudry, president, Maritime Travel Inc, in a statement. “And we’re especially delighted to know they are also among the most engaged workforces in the country. This is particularly rewarding when you consider the global workforce challenges of the travel industry the past few years.”
Some of the award’s benchmarks include employee’s perceptions of senior leadership, people-manager effectiveness, enabling employee productivity, and valuing and appreciating employees.
Based in Halifax, Maritime Travel has been in business since 1949 and is one of Canada’s largest independent travel agency chains, with 95 locations coast to coast, employing more than 400 travel advisors.
The company was recently named a Platinum Club winner of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 2024. Prior to that, it has been named one of Canada’s Best Managed companies every year since 1998.
