Equal Opportunity

Thomas Cook states they “encourage and value the diversity of its people, through management and effective supportive policies. We are committed to treating everyone fairly and reasonably according to their individual merits and abilities measured against our justifiable business needs. Therefore we will not tolerate any form of unlawful discrimination or harassment on the ground of race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender re-assignment status, being married or a civil partner, religion, belief, disability or age.” (2013)

TUI equal opportunities have a wide range of campaigns such as:        We help people with disabilities, e.g. through our job application training, where our personnel specialists coach young people with disabilities.

•  With the TUI Open Door scholarships, we make it possible for children of employees to spend time abroad – be it during the holidays or staying with a guest family for an entire school year.
•  As part of our “Changing Sides” project, employees spend a day working in a social institution, for example in a children’s hospital or working as a street paper vendor.
• International cuisine: our employees can also get to know each other’s cultures through food. In the canteen, employees from all over the world present meals and recipes from their native countries to their colleagues.
• Reading coaching: TUI employees volunteer as reading coaches at special-needs schools.
