FCM Travel offers exclusive insights into business traveller sentiment. With 2022 around the corner, businesses globally are gearing up to send their road warriors out into the world again. The question on everyone’s mind is how business travellers will experience the return to the skies and whether they feel ready and prepared.

Human behaviour specialist Dan Gregory says the lack of face-to-face interaction in business because of Covid has negatively impacted people’s trust in each other, ability to form connections and workplace engagement.

FCM has a solid global footprint. This means a home ground advantage in over 95 countries worldwide. We give local knowledge; on-the-ground support from dedicated travel managers; and after-hours assistance wherever you find yourself in the world.

Travel has always been a risky business. Especially if you have ever had to navigate international incidents, industrial action or adverse weather. Not surprising then that risk management and duty of care is so important.

How we communicate with each other has come a long way since email and SMS. And we’re not just talking about Zoom and Teams, but the way that we support and lift each other especially in times of a crisis.

COVID-19 has transformed the business travel landscape. With many offices closed either temporarily or permanently and large portions of workforces working remotely, travel managers’ priorities have shifted.
