Identified already many years as a crucial issue, the well-being for business travellers is still too often wishful thinking within the company. In particular by lack of tools and data to really take the measure of the problem, and put in place the necessary safeguards. But the post-pandemic period could well amplify the problem, with some promising a phase of "revenge travel" aimed at making up for time lost during the crisis, for personal and professional purposes.
The recovery is sometimes so sudden that TripActions describes a real " sprint " : " Le sprint to get back on the road and the transition to a new hybrid work mean that there may be fewer hours in the office, but more face-to-face time with dispersed teams, customers and suppliers - and with more time spent on the road, employee well-being will be affected ".
who keeps an eye on the well-being of travellers?
Evoking " business travel from zero to 100 "The management of TripActions asks: " Who's keeping an eye on travellers' well-being? ". The answer: TripActions... At least that's the message sent by 18 May with the launch of a brand new dashboard dedicated to monitoring well-being of travellers. The aim is to provide travel managers, human resources departments and all those involved in this area with the data they need for effective monitoring. In this case, TripActions points the way the number of nights and weekends spent away, the duration of flights, the number of connections, the length of stopovers, etc. or even night flight bookings. The dashboard is available on a global scaleand a French version is also available.
With hybrid working and dispersed teams becoming the norm, having visibility over the well-being of groups and employees when travelling has never been more important or more difficult.
" With hybrid working and dispersed teams becoming the norm, having visibility over the well-being of groups and employees when travelling has never been more important or more difficult. "says Nina Herold, Chief Product Operations Officer at TripActions. " TripActions' Traveller Wellness Dashboard addresses this challenge by giving team managers or administrators the means to monitor the factors affecting employee health holistically and at a granular level - and then act by adopting policy changes or offering time off. "continues Nina Herold.
A marked and widespread recovery...According to figures released on Wednesday by TripActionsThe resumption of business travel can be brutal. Based on its own data, the platform notes that, on average, customers booked 2.25 flights in the last three months. This is 1.5 times more than over the same period in 2021. The geographical dispersion of teams has also greatly increased the number of employees affected by business travel. According to TripActions, the average number of passengers per company per month increased by 57% compared with the pre-pandemic period. |
