“The only constant is change” – Greek philosopher Heraclitus.
And, this is equally true of business travel. Company priorities continually shift, costs can remain steady or increase, complexities of duty of care evolve with global circumstances, and technology advances more rapidly. Meanwhile, new generations of travelers bring fresh perspectives, expectations, and challenges.
For travel managers, one thing remains unchanged: the need to maintain a sophisticated balance between traveler needs and company goals. This has been and will stay a critical responsibility. A thoughtful, flexible travel policy is the foundation of your corporate travel program and can help you strike that balance.
The purpose of travel policy extends beyond company mandates and plays an essential role in minimizing risk while at the same time supporting travelers’ well-being via a guidance-first approach.
