CareerBliss announced its fifth annual Happiest Companies in America list, and Sabre Holdings ranked No. 31. Led by Johnson and Johnson (No. 1), the list had other notable, local companies: Texas Instruments (No. 4) and Fidelity Investments (No. 11—they have a large training facility in Westlake.)
Professionals submitted thousands of reviews in 2013 and 2014 asking them to rate their employers on eight factors affecting happiness at work. Work-life balance, the relationship with your boss, the relationship with your coworkers, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities and company culture were all rated on a five-point scale. Those numbers were combined to find an average rating, and thus the companies were ranked.
Headquartered in Southlake, Sabre Holdings is a leading technology provider to the global travel and tourism industry. Their software, data, mobile and distribution solutions are used by hundreds of airlines and thousands of hotel properties to manage critical operations, such as passenger and guest reservations, revenue management, and flight, network and crew management.
