Let’s unpack competing priorities

Traveller-centric experiences offering personalization, flexibility, and empowered travel are a growing trend. Yet it’s an approach that conflicts with the cost, budget, and supplier priorities of procurement teams...or that’s how it’s perceived.  

How do companies balance employee autonomy and comfort with the ongoing drive for cost control? How does HR play into everything?

It’s time to Th!nk on it. Watch this dynamic panel discussion between corporate travel experts across managed travel, HR, and procurement. 

You’ll come away with: 
 

1) What it means to have a traveller-first program
2) Ideas on how to strike the balance
3) Understanding how Procurement, HR and Travel can collaborate
 4) Positives and negatives of being traveller or cost focused
