Benefits of Working for Discova
More than conventional leave
We believe in the philosophy “No Leave = No Life”.
That is why we have additional leave types beyond your conventional paid leave, because we believe that you deserve more. These added benefits have been introduced so that you can take time off from work to learn, give back, rest and recharge.
Flexible Hours
Work comes in many shapes and sizes, and so does your personal life. That’s why Discova has a flexible approach to office hours. Depending on your role and your team, this may mean your workday starts early and finishes early, or later, as per your communication with your reporting manager.
Travel Discounts
One of the perks of joining a global travel company surely has to be...travelling. It’s also important to us that our staff get to experience our "purpose-driven journeys", continuously feed their curiosity and explore and learn about new cultures and places. Accordingly, we offer Discova citizens discounts on a selection of our and our partners’ travel experiences and services.
Career Progression: Learning and Leadership Development Opportunities
We continually invest in our people’s development to help them be the best they can be. This enables everyone at Discova to be in their element. We believe in deserved internal promotion and provide a clear pathway and courses for learning and development to help you grow in skills and further your career.
Legendary Celebrations For High Performance
We know how to have fun and celebrate our success! This could be in our monthly online town hall meetings, Quality Gobal Celebrations, year-end parties, or the Flight Centre Travel Group’s (our parent company) big bash, the Global Gathering.
Responsible Travel
We have used our size and stability to our advantage by supporting various community development projects and social, environmental and economic initiatives throughout our destinations. When you join Discova, you become part of a company that values local people and environments first and foremost, seeing the potential for tourism to be a regenerative and sustainable force.
United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principals (WEPs)
As a proud signatory of the UN WEPs, Discova champions gender equality in our business and influences our partners, local communities, and suppliers to do the same.
Birthday Leave
If your birthday falls on your regular working day, you can take one day paid lweave to celebrate with your friends and family on your special day.
Study Leave
We believe that learning is a lifelong process. That’s why we offer five days of paid annual study leave. You can enroll in a course that is linked to your current or future role with Discova to study or attend exams, join tutorials, or work on projects to be submitted for your qualifications.
Longevity Leave
To show our appreciation for our people’s continued dedication, we will offer special travel opportunities (including work experiences in other offices) and vouchers to employees during their 1st, 3rd, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th year work anniversaries.
Volunteer leave
Discova is committed to changing lives through travel. If you work for us, it means compassion is in your DNA, and that is why we provide one day of paid volunteer leave per year. Take a day off and do some good for nature or your community with a registered charity.
Experience Discova
Every employee gets the opportunity to experience two Discova operated tours within the first two years of their employment. On the one hand you will get to understand our products and services better, and on the other you will get to experience what our industry is all about: exploring, learning, and having fun!
A Great Place to Work®
Since 2023, Discova has been certified as a Great Place to Work® across several of our destinations. As the global authority on workplace culture, this certification reaffirms our consistent efforts to strive for an overwhelmingly positive employee experience.
