If an in-person meeting is essential, and cannot be conducted using technologically advanced Web or video conferencing systems, then companies can try controlling costs by relying on a travel manager.
This person, or team of people, negotiates discounted deals with
hotels, airlines and car rental companies for traveling employees.

A travel manager, can save money by locking in a hotel room rate while the general public might pay 20% more as prices increase. When an employee takes advantage of this discount, instead of booking other accommodations, it adds to the savings.

While there is no definitive way to improve productivity on the road,
companies and business travelers can reduce concrete costs like hotel
rooms, car rentals, and airfare.

"What's the value of your people's time?" . For weary road warriors, this commodity is priceless, and travel arrangements that maximize productivity can save more over the long haul. |
