Employee satisfaction
Our 2021 employee engagement survey showed that our employees are highly engaged with an overall score of 81%, which is higher than the average score in the industry. The general satisfaction within the WIZZ Team is 80%, while 78% of our people were inspired by the purpose and mission of the organisation.
People development
We continue to deliver world-class training to our people. From COVID-19 and technical trainings for our crew to leadership trainings for our office employees, we are focusing on giving the right tools to our employees so they can own their development and progress in their career.
Wizz Air Pilot Academy
We run our own Pilot Academy which provides financial support, including partial sponsorship, to motivated cadets during their initial training. Pilot Academy cadets who successfully graduate from the program can begin their employment at Wizz Air as Pilot Trainees.
Diversity and equal opportunities
Celebrating perspectives from every corner of the world is at the heart of our business at WIZZ, and with over 50 nationalities across 21 base countries, we're proud of our truly global footprint. We’re also committed to ensuring gender diversity in the workplace, with 50% women and 50% male employees and Women of WIZZ, which has been introduced to achieve significantly higher women representation in pilot positions within the next decade.
Fatigue management
We continuously monitor and assess the risk of fatigue to guarantee safe flight operations. Our Crew Management system incorporates fatigue-related information into its decision-making to improve the identification of fatigue risk.
Cabin Crew to Captain Program
We introduced the industry’s first ever Cabin Crew to Captain Program to help aspiring WIZZ Cabin Crew turn their dreams into reality through extensive financial, travel and accommodation support, as well as a tailored work and study schedule. By breaking down a number of key barriers, we strive to support ambitious crew members on their journey to the flight deck.
WIZZ People Council
Established in 2018, our People Council regularly brings together employees representing all areas of the business to facilitate an effective two-way communication between the management and employees and to support the decision-making process on matters that affect all employees within the Company. The People Council continues to improve us both as an airline and as an employer.
Mental and physical wellbeing
We want our employees to feel valued and supported, which is why 24/7 professional counselling service (Employee Assistance Program) is available for all of our employees and their immediate family members. We also offer a pilot peer to peer support as well as online mental health and fitness training for all of our crew. In 2019, we introduced WIZZ Aid, an Employee Emergency Fund which is designed to provide financial support to colleagues who need urgent medical treatment or suffer from natural or man-made disasters.
