Assessing the real impact of business travel
An Ipsos MORI Business Travel Survey
By cutting down on business travel, organisations can not only reduce their direct costs but also their carbon emissions, simultaneously helping them improve their social responsibility standing. Add to this the ability to redress the work-life balance for their employees and the motives for change are clear.
As more and more companies come to this realisation, they are actively trying to reduce the need for their employees to travel on business. But what do business travellers make of all this? Do they think business travel improves or hinders their overall job effectiveness? Do they actually care about the impact business travel has on the environment? Do they recognise the impact of business travel on their work-life balance?

More

In summary organisations are looking to:

 

  • Reduce travel expenses
  • Access experts or employees in remote locations more easily
  • Improve work/life balance and higher employee retention
  • Improve your communication with home workers, customers, partners and suppliers
  • Raise employee satisfaction from faster decision making
  • Make more cost-effective use of chargeable employee time
  • Improve hiring decisions from a broader recruiting base
  • Improve the environment with lower hydrocarbon emissions, reduced fuel consumption, and less traffic congestion.
  • Speed up product development cycles and shorten time-to-market.
