Thomas Cook UK chief executive Peter Fankhauser claims morale is high within the company following the group’s refinancing announcement earlier today.
He said the management team was "totally motivated" by the refinancing, designed to reduce the group’s debt.
Fankhauser told TravelMole the move was good news for all Cook employees as it safeguards the company.
Thomas Cook shares rose nearly 15% after it announced its refinancing plans.
But the £1.6 billion refinancing will not save the 2,500 jobs and 195 shops that are currently for the chop in the UK.
The 90-day consultation is drawing to a close and staff are due to find out on June 6 if they will be made redundant.
"We have been communicating very openly and honestly with the people who are in the consultation and have been supporting them throughout the process with all kinds of measures, including job fairs and training," said Fankhauser.
"We have been treating them very fairly."
He said summer bookings were going well, with a good mix of short, medium and long haul sales.
"We still have a long way to go but we are confident that we are moving the right way," he said.
