TravelStore Once Again Recognized as One of Southern California’s Best Places to Work in 2025

September 9, 2025 – TravelStore, the leading Los Angeles-headquartered and employee-owned travel management company, today announced its designation as a Best Place to Work in Los Angeles.This prestigious honor highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to fostering a supportive, collaborative, and empowering workplace culture.

The annual Best Places to Work awards program is a joint effort of The Los Angeles Business Journal and Workforce Research Group that evaluates companies across Southern California based on employee feedback, workplace policies, and organizational culture. Companies recognized on this list demonstrate excellence in creating environments where employees feel valued, engaged, and motivated to succeed.

Companies are chosen through a program consisting of multiple parts. The first part evaluates each nominated company’s workplace experience and company culture. This first part accounts for 75% of the total evaluation. The second part consists of an employee survey to measure the company’s benefits, policies, practices and other general information. The second part of the process is worth 25% of the total evaluation. Together, the combined scores determine the top companies and the final rankings. An independent research firm named Best Companies Group (BCG) manages the entire program and analyzes the data to provide the final rankings.

“At TravelStore, our people are at the heart of everything we do,” said Brian Crawford, President and CEO. “This recognition is a direct reflection of the culture, collaboration, and commitment our staff and independent affiliates bring to our company every day. We are committed to maintaining a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and inspired.”

As an employee-owned company, TravelStore offers its team members a unique opportunity to share in the success of the business. For employees at TravelStore, that means fostering a culture of trust, ownership, collaboration, and service excellence.

Over the past year, TravelStore has continued to invest in employee development, enhanced internal resources, and expanded opportunities for collaboration across departments and independent advisors. These efforts, combined with a longstanding emphasis on work-life balance and recognition, have helped position the company as an employer of choice within the travel industry.

This recognition as a 2025 Best Place to Work in Southern California underscores TravelStore’s dedication to cultivating an environment where employees thrive—both personally and professionally.
