BENEFITS

In the old days, professionals assumed that travel expenses had little impact on their firm's bottom line. Clearly, those days are long gone.

Attendees of this program will gain a high level of understanding about the best practices in travel management, so they can manage the balance between the competing strategic goals of service, savings and safety. Because a well-structured travel policy addresses the key components of successful travel management, we will describe best practices regarding travel agencies; reservation processes; and class of service for airlines, hotels, and car rentals; policy enforcement, and groups and meetings.

At the conclusion of this live audio conference, you should see not only how a good policy works, but how travel management can improve overall business management.
