Whether you're a giant blue chip company or a charity organization, one thing is for sure: a little money saved could go a long way. Here are some proven ways to manage your organization's travel spend.
Develop and implement a firm travel policy that captures well thought out per diem guidelines, reimbursement policies and spend limits.
Take up travel insurance- As you cover employees against unforeseen eventualities, you'll also be protecting the company from unplanned expenditure.
Use a consistent travel booking agent such as Incentive Travel to help control costs. Cash in on relationships already built by agents with hotel chains and airlines.
Have your agent look out complimentary offers on breakfast, late check outs and extra nights.
Give up a star: Rather than booking top tier spots for employees, settle for middle level hotel chains that promise proximity, comfort, hygiene and good food. You know? The essentials.
