Our values aren't just words on a page. They're the backbone; the steering wheel;
the soundtrack to how we embrace each day. Like a well baked brownie, every ingredient
combines to achieve the rich consistency fueling the soul of Global Touring.
We are natural born explorers. Our people question old solutions, apply alternative thinking and embrace being challenged in the search for outcomes. We're excited by the journey on and off the road - expanding our knowledge, adapting to feedback and questioning the status quo. Value ideas over hierarchy. Have the courage to take risks. Don't let perfection prevent growth.
We take the right way, not the easy way. We're straight up even through the toughest conversations; tackling challenges head-on and with integrity. Honour commitments. Communicate with clarity. And build relationships based on mutual respect. Forget hidden agendas, we treat everyone fairly - despite a preference for instant coffee.
If we do it, we do it well. We are empowered to make decisions based on data and experience - holding each other accountable along the way. Spare the excuses. Be fearless in the pursuit of results. And take responsibility - even when no one's looking. There will be bumps in the road; that's ok. We own our mistakes and learn from the challenges as well as the successes.
Across oceans and office desks, it's more than a love for travel that keeps us connected.
There are no silos here; we are each other's toughest critics and loudest supporters - especially around the ping pong table. People with diverse backgrounds, different identities and varied experiences make our company exceptional. We embrace alternate perspectives, recognise each other's strengths and champion collective genius.
