In the ever-evolving landscape of corporate travel, the need for efficient and streamlined travel programs has never been more apparent. Despite the challenges posed by the travel restrictions of 2020, corporate travel remains an essential component of business growth. Professionals must continue to embark on business trips to meet clients, assess products, and fulfill other critical business needs.
However, the traditional business travel management approach has often been considered cumbersome and time-consuming. Travel managers were tasked with sifting through numerous websites to secure the best airfare rates and accommodations, leaving them with limited options and immense workloads. Alternatively, some companies rely on travel agencies, which often leave them at the mercy of agency opening hours, especially during emergencies.
The solution to this complexity lies in establishing a corporate travel program, which might seem daunting at first glance but has become more accessible thanks to technology. Regardless of your organization's stage, implementing a clear corporate travel policy and an efficient travel program can lead to substantial savings in both revenue and resources. Let's delve into five reasons why a corporate travel program can streamline your business travel efforts.
1. Time-Saving Efficiency
Managing travel arrangements for an entire company can be a logistical challenge without the right technology. Juggling multiple itineraries while staying compliant with your company's travel policy can be overwhelming. Simplifying the booking process is the first step in making travel management more efficient and less stressful.
With BNW Travel's corporate travel management system, you can consolidate all your arrangements within a user-friendly online booking tool. Plus, thanks to our extensive global network of travel suppliers, we can negotiate the best rates and fares for you, saving both time and money.
2. Enhanced Traveler Safety
Ensuring the safety of your business travelers is a top priority and a significant responsibility. Recent events, such as the pandemic, have underscored the importance of staying informed about traveler whereabouts and security developments.
A managed travel program like BNW Travel provides real-time safety advice and enables you to effortlessly track all current itineraries. In case of unexpected changes, our 24/7 customer support team is ready to assist and provide immediate solutions. This kind of support is invaluable, particularly in times of sudden border closures and travel disruptions.
3. Employee Satisfaction and Well-being
In the past, travel managers had to navigate multiple websites or rely on travel agencies to find suitable accommodations for their travelers. This often resulted in limited options and frustrated business travelers.
BNW Travel allows you to input your travel policy preferences, including budgets, in just a few minutes. Employees can then choose from our extensive travel inventory, ensuring they find the best accommodations within your specified price range. This autonomy over travel options increases employee satisfaction, contributing to a more positive work experience.
