Sabre Prioritises Employee Wellbeing With Series Of New Initiatives
Sabre Corporation, the leading software and technology company that powers the global travel industry, has launched a transformed employee wellbeing experience, aimed at fostering a supportive environment where people can thrive, learn, succeed, and give back.
The Company, which previously announced its vision to create a new marketplace for personalized travel, is investing in its team members to be their best, both personally and professionally, as they focus on immediate post-pandemic recovery and on driving Sabre’s ambitious long-term goals.
“Sabre has a bold vision – and we need the best people to make this happen,” said Shawn Williams, Chief People Officer, Sabre. “We employ some of the world’s top talent and we’re focused on creating an environment in which they can reach their full potential, helping us reshape the global travel industry from the inside out. Investing in our people – both present and future – is a huge priority for us, and it is our aim to cultivate a culture that is rewarding, supporting and transparent.”
Work from Anywhere
Sabre has introduced a global Work from Anywhere (WFA) program which provides Sabre team members with a selection of flexible work arrangements. Designed to accommodate team members’ individual needs and circumstances, the WFA program will support work/life balance, improving productivity, motivation and job satisfaction.
“Our Work from Anywhere framework empowers our team members to choose a working arrangement that suits them,” continued Shawn Williams. “We recognize that there’s no one-size-fits-all way of working and giving people the choice to shape their own will help them do their best work, feel valued and stay focused. And, while the human interaction of working in an office is important, we’ve all seen the power of technology this year in helping us stay connected and keep business moving from afar.”
Employee wellness
Sabre has transformed its approach to employee wellness, investing in a host of new resources to enhance the team member experience. To drive this, the Company has created the Sabre Wellbeing Advisor Group (SWAG), a council of a dozen team members from around the world who will guide conversation around wellbeing, capture best practices and enhance tools and programs to support employee wellbeing.
One of the first initiatives introduced by the council is a partnership with Headspace, a global leader in mindfulness and wellbeing, to provide free, premium access to their award-winning mindfulness app.
“Through the Headspace partnership, we hope to encourage team members to take time out for themselves every day and enjoy the benefits of increased productivity and improved stress resilience and creativity that come from consistent meditation and mindfulness exercises,” said Williams. Read More
