| Cruiseabout means business

FLIGHT Centre Travel Group’s Cruiseabout has relaunched its Business Ownership Scheme (BOS), offering team leaders the chance to buy into the stores they run and share in the success.

The invitation-only scheme is aimed at team leaders who have a track record of impressive leadership, performance and ability to run a store as an owner.

Participants directly share in their store’s profit and gain a seat on the Owners Advisory Board.

“The scheme is rooted in a founding principle of FCTG – that people who feel genuine ownership of their business outperform and outlast all others and we want to bring this opportunity to our Cruiseabout team leaders,” explained General manager Brad Kennedy.

Australia’s cruise market continues to grow, and Cruiseabout is scaling to meet demand – making the ability to attract and retain exceptional people more critical than ever.”

The first two leaders to enter the business’ relaunched scheme are Kate Moulton from Cruiseabout North Lakes and Christina D’Agostino from Cruiseabout Whitford (pictured).

“Having been there from day one, building the store with such a wonderful team and seeing the success it continues to achieve has been so rewarding,” explained D’Agostino.

“I’ve never taken a leap like this before, so backing myself and becoming a BOS owner is something I’m incredibly proud of,” she added. JHM

“BOS is one of the most powerful tools in that mission,” he added.
