Travelers Well-Being And The Shift To Purposeful Business Travel

Duty of care obligations mean companies are legally required to look after their traveling employees from a safety perspective.But, three years on from the start of the pandemic, there is talk beyond safety to more of a focus on traveler well-being - mental, physical and emotional.The changing nature of work - with people working from home or generally in a more distributed manner - in addition to the spotlight on corporate and social responsibility, are driving that focus on well-being generally as well as traveler well-being more specifically.Where there's a problem, solutions spring up and a number of travel management companies including Egencia, TripActions and CTM have developed dashboards to track traveler well-being based on drawing information from itineraries.Last December, Egencia unveiled its well-being dashboard, which aggregates data to enable travel managers to see the impact on an individual who is traveling.The change in working patterns was a key driver for the development of the solution. John Sturino, vice president of product and technology at Egencia, says: "Before the pandemic there were certain things that weren't thought of as part of the travel manager's job, and I think wellness was one of them. Once you get into a position as a general manager where you don't see people every day, a lot of those signals you used to have to say whether your folks are doing okay, went away."The dashboard, currently in alpha testing with customers, looks at 15 different indicators including the number of time zones traveled through, average traveling hours and number of red-eye flights to assess whether a trip might be creating stress as well as whether it's time to check-in with that traveler. .
