LunaJets Named Best Employer 2018

Charter broker LunaJets has been named Best Employer of 2018 by Bilan magazine for companies with fewer than 50 employees. The analysis took into account total compensation, work-life balance, vacation, social corporate responsibility, and other HR considerations and practices.

Bilan noted that its tenth edition of the HR Best Practices Survey revealed three key workplace trends: choice, well-being, and time. Examples included allowing an employee to select between five days of vacation or the equivalent salary, providing amenities to help maintain an employee’s sense of well-being, and allowing staff to purchase additional holidays in exchange for a monthly salary deduction.

LunaJets appears to be following suit with the aforementioned trends and employees are able to access workplace amenities that ensure a healthy work-life balance. Beyond flexible hours, supplementary accident insurance, and training opportunities, LunaJets offers progressive advantages including a massage therapist and pet-friendly offices. Other options, which LunaJets calls unconventional but much appreciated, include a fully equipped gym and unrestricted use of the LunaMobile company pool car.

The Geneva, Switzerland-based private jet booking platform was created in 2007 and offers a free membership program with access to 4,800 aircraft around the world. LunaJets was initially created to resell available seats or empty-leg packages at discounted rates. After the economic crisis, however, the company modified its approach to offer low-commission, on-demand charter for customers wanting to fly privately at the best available price. According to LunaJets, the company is growing at about 35 percent each year.
