BCD Travel earns globally recognized workplace accreditation

UTRECHT, The Netherlands, Oct. 18, 2017 –  Investors in People, a globally recognized workplace ratings firm, has awarded BCD Travel accreditation in people management. BCD Travel is the first travel management company to pursue and receive IIP’s independent endorsement, which positions the TMC as one of the top companies to work for in the corporate travel industry.

IIP ratings set the standard for what it takes to lead, support and manage people well for sustainable results. More than 14,000 businesses and organizations across 75 countries have been accredited by the people management auditor since 1991. In issuing its three-year accreditation of BCD Travel, the ratings firm compared  the company’s performance against a proven, 27-scale framework of talent-management success. IIP also measured how well talent management supports BCD’s internal goals for culture, leadership, business growth and workforce development.

IIP accreditation goes beyond popular workplace polls by helping companies objectively demonstrate to employees and job candidates that their organization a great place to build a career. During the assessment process, IIP representatives made site visits to BCD offices and interviewed employees around the globe.

“This accreditation by a respected third party further validates the strengths of our workplace and the effort we have put into evolving it,” said Christian Dahl, BCD’s senior vice president of Strategic Talent Management & Global Human Resources. “The IIP process revealed how well our workplace practices align with business strategies, and it helped us identify areas where we can improve. We continue to take a leading role in driving industry improvements in talent management, corporate social responsibility, workplace flexibility and ethical, sustainable business practices.”

In achieving IIP accreditation, BCD Travel joins an elite group of companies such as Fujitsu and McDonald’s that are universally recognized for their commitment to developing top talent.

“Investors in People accreditation is the sign of a great employer, an outperforming place to work and a clear commitment to success,” said Paul Devoy, head of London-based IIP. “BCD Travel should be extremely proud of their achievement.”

Forbes has listed BCD Travel among the best U.S. employers for each of the past three years. FlexJobs ranked the company among the 100 best for workplace flexibility and remote working opportunities. The company also has been recognized by Top Workplaces as one of the best companies to work for in America.
