BT2.0 Employee Town-hall
While BT2.0 conducted Employee meets across smaller locations the same was not feasible for locations where the employee strength is in larger numbers. Hence BT2.0 conducted town-hall meetings in Gurgaon, Bombay and Pune for employees of Thomas Cook, SOTC and TC Travel. All the Business Travel employees irrespective of their teams came under one roof for that particular day. The town-hall of Gurgaon was hosted by Mona Cheriyan along with the core team, Mumbai was hosted by Indiver Rastogi along with his Direct Reportee’s, and Pune was hosted by Anand Sundararajan and Sonam Suri along with the Regional Team. It was an evening for Employees to engage with each other and have some fun. There were discussions on suggestions and strategies for the upcoming years, interspersed with fun and games. Awards were given to employees in appreciation for their hard work and dedication throughout the year.

During these meets various Corporate Travel teams of Thomas Cook, SOTC and TC Travel such as operation, back office, credit control etc. all came under one roof. The objective of these meets was to have a better connect with the employees, and talk about regional goals, targets, important updates, compliance etc. Also the employees were briefed about the importance of a dress code irrespective of whether the employees were based at a back office, or were Customer-facing. To add a fun element, a few games were played and exciting giveaways given to the winners. In these meets top performers of the team were appreciated for their hard work and dedication and were presented with certificates. Here’s a glimpse of the team meets.
All Geared Up For Friendship Day
There is something special about the memories of our childhood which can never be replaced, and among them is Friendship Day. When we used to be kids Friendship Day was something we used to wait for, to celebrate the bond with our besties! This year at Business Travel we tried to recreate something we used to do when we were kids. Reliving the childhood memories, corporate travel teams at Marathon and Gurgaon were offered Friendship bands and were asked to tie them on the wrists of their colleagues and exchange chocolates just like we used to do when we were kids. We also asked employees to share a picture with their best friend at work along with a caption defining their friendship. Here’s to a lifetime of friendship!
Fun Filled Festival of Lights – Diwali Made Everyone Glow!
The festival of Diwali reminds us of the festive season of joy, splendor, enthusiasm and happiness. We had a lovely week long celebration here at Corporate Travel where all the employees (Pan India) participated in a Work Station Decoration Competition, and an online activity was rolled out to all Corporate Travel users Pan India. Trying not to leave anyone out, lots of fun activities were also organized for the employees based at the back offices of Gurgaon and Mumbai. Corporate Travel teams participated team wise in Mocktail making competitions, Diya decoration Contests , and enjoying their all-time favorite — Tambola! All the events were about teamwork, creativity and the power of innovation among our employees. Winners were given exciting giveaways. Any celebration is incomplete without music, so we had the joyful and exciting Dhol dance which was organised at our Gurgaon location. It was a great mood enhancer, and employees literally got into the ‘swing’ of it with much enthusiasm, dancing in their best ethnic attire. Check out the fun- filled celebrations….
