You Got It Right About Corporate Travel Policy
It is a myth that employees who travel on business resent the corporate travel policy.The reality is that workers like to understand what is expected of them and the way to go along with a company policy so long as that policy is fair and gives them the facility to do what they have to do on the road. So a well thought out corporate travel policy is an advantage to the company and the business traveler alike.
If it’s been given to you to assemble a company travel policy, your goal from the stand point of the company is to develop a policy that standardises business costs, gets shot of waste and excess on the road and puts some controls around that part of the business cost picture. So there are some definite focus areas you need to include in the stated company policy including:
* Reservations. The business can utilize a travel agent that is looking for the best deal for the company. The best rates can be identified and taken advantage of but only while making sure the business traveler’s needs and the business objective of the trip are satisfied. Requiring that employees utilize the corporate travel agent again is not unfair and it clarifies for the employee how to handle the situation.
* Use of credit. It’s a bit of effort and cost to line up company credit cards you can need your traveling staff to use. But by trapping expenses to the corporate account, you can get a record of a most of the business expenses the worker is shouldering. Plenty of the costs of travel like airline and hotel can be immediately billed back to the company therefore taking the difficulties out of the hands of the business traveler.
* Travel rewards. If you have your corporate travel coordinated by an internal or external travel agency, corporate accounts with the major airlines can be established so the frequent flyer miles can be collected by the business. As such, the business can redeem those miles and realize those benefits as a significant discount to apply against the travel budget.
* Per Diem. Your corporate travel policy must communicate clearly to the traveling employee what their limits are for hotel, rental car and meals on the road. You need to head off before it starts any bent by the worker to go mad with daily costs. This part of the policy should be reviewed yearly to update to current costs.
* Reporting. One of the chief complaints employees have about corporate travel policies are that the expense reporting system is cryptic and hard to fill out. You will give the employee a standardized form that each traveler in the company must fill out to get reimbursed for expenses while traveling. But review these forms and even design your own so the format is understandable and you have categories to cover all types of expenses the employee might encounter.
With these general classes, your company travel policies should ideally include some leverage for staff who are faced with exceptional eventualities. Room and food expenses can vary widely depending on where the employee must travel. So you don’t want to set the hotel limit to $125 per night because it is reasonable to stay in a comfortable hotel for that rate in Lincoln Nebraska but enforce that same limitation for an employee who must do business in New York City.
By making a policy that generally protects the company budget but is also workable to staff who are about the company business, you’ll have a tool that may serve both company and worker interests and enable business travel to be what it was always meant to be a productive, business targeted activity that achieves the goals of the corporation.
