(PRWEB) June 21,    2017  <\/p>\n<p>    World Travel Holdings, the worlds largest    cruise agency and award-winning leisure travel company, today    announced its recognition as one of the Achievers 50 Most    Engaged Workplaces in North America. The annual award,    issued by Achievers, an industry leading provider of    employee recognition and engagement solutions, commends top    employers that display leadership and innovation in engaging    their workforces.  <\/p>\n<p>    Employee experience remains a top priority for employees in    2017, observed David Brennan, Achievers general manager. The    impressive Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces Award winners    are using rewards and recognition to foster positive,    productive workplaces. Were excited to learn from them and    honor their accomplishments.  <\/p>\n<p>    World Travel Holdings believes an informed workforce is an    engaged workforce. Education plays a vital role in many    programs, giving employees the knowledge they need to drive    individual results and have an impact on the companys bottom    line. From financial update podcasts, town halls and    informative newsletters to motivational communications,    training programs and leadership development, employees have    their finger on the pulse of industry events and company news,    ultimately leading to record-high engagement levels and sales    growth each year.  <\/p>\n<p>    Because nearly 80 percent of our team works remotely, we pride    ourselves on creating innovative ways for employees who work    virtually to engage with each other and with our in-office    employees, ultimately feeling part of something bigger than    themselves, said Loren Kennedy, vice president of human    resources. We named our Achievers entry    #ObsessedWithEngagement because we recognize that an engaged    and passionate workforce is critical to our overall success.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces Awards are judged by    an esteemed panel of academics and thought leaders in the field    of employee engagement. The 2017 judging panel also included    representation from the Society for Human Resource Management    (SHRM), HR Technology Conference and HRO Today. The judges    evaluated each applicant company based on the Eight Elements of    Employee Engagement: Communication, Leadership, Culture,    Rewards & Recognition, Professional & Personal Growth,    Accountability & Performance, Vision & Values and    Corporate Social Responsibility.  <\/p>\n<p>    To be included on this prestigious list for six years in a row    is an incredible an honor and testament to the passion our    leadership, and management teams have for our company, added    Kennedy. They lead by example and have cultivated our    award-winning company culture.  <\/p>\n<p>    In addition, earlier in 2017 for the third year in a row World    Travel Holdings was listed as both one of the 100 Top    Companies to Watch for Telecommuting and Remote Jobs from    FlexJobs, and as one of the Top Workplaces in South Florida by    Workplace Dynamics and South Florida Sun Sentinel.  <\/p>\n<p>    World Travel Holdings will be honored alongside the other    recipients of the Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces Award    at an awards gala.
