Tauck Named #1 Place to Work
Tauck is a Top Workplace
Looking for a new job? How about working for Tauck. The 90-year old company has been named the winner in a “Top Workplaces” survey conducted recently by newspaper publisher Hearst Connecticut Media and the research firm WorkplaceDynamics.
The survey ranks mid-sized companies within Connecticut’s Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield Counties.
“At Tauck we’re committed to putting people first,” said company CEO Dan Mahar, “and that applies equally to our guests and our employees. Our team members are united by a common purpose – to enhance our guests’ lives through travel – and we are guided by timeless values. We are committed to doing the right thing, we are constantly innovating, and we are dedicated to providing the best guest experience possible. Tauck is 90 years young this year,” noted Mahar, “and our enduring success is directly related to our unique culture. We know that if we take great care of our employees, they’ll in turn take great care of our guests.”
Celebrating 90 Years
The Top Workplace award is the latest highlight for Tauck in 2015, a year which marks the company’s 90th anniversary. Ninety years? That’s amazing. That’s almost as long as Betty White had walked the earth.
In February, members of the Tauck family, Tauck’s employees, the company’s board members and key partner-suppliers all gathered at Chateau Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies for a four-day anniversary celebration. To mark the actual anniversary of the first-ever Tauck tour, which began on July 12, 1925, Tauck groups traveling across the world on that date enjoyed special receptions and other observances.
Tauck will also celebrate its New York-area roots in October when it joins filmmaker Ken Burns in hosting its sold-out, five-day “Tauck New York City Event” in Manhattan. And Tauck heads into the final months of the year with preparations well underway to relocate to a new office space nestled into wooded surroundings in nearby Wilton, Connecticut.
