How to prioritize corporate traveler well-being

Corporate travel is steadily recovering, but it’s not quite business as usual. Company travel and expense (T&E) policies are being reshaped to reflect a new work environment and the evolving needs of employees. Several key factors are influencing this transformation:

• Continued focus on health and safety

• The rise of hybrid work models

• Blurred boundaries between personal and professional travel

• Greater attention to reducing burnout and improving retention

• A growing emphasis on sustainability and inclusion

• Ongoing scrutiny of overall travel budgets

If you manage travel for your organization, you’re at the center of this evolution. Understanding what travelers need to stay healthy, secure, and productive can help strengthen .. company’s travel strategy—and your team’s satisfaction.
