Coming out of the pandemic, there is a stronger focus on work-life balance. Remote work, hybrid work and work from anywhere are being adopted by both corporations and their employees as ways to respond to this new era of work and collaboration. But with these new flexible rules come implications for both the company and the employee . The question is, should the corporate travel manager be involved in the creation and supporting of any new policies governing how a company allows it employees to work?
I make the case, that the answer is yes, the travel manager should be leading the remote work policy reviews and offer 6 suggestions to get started.
Bleisure - does anyone really like that term? While we might not like the term, employees really like to add on leisure time to their business trips. Even more so now than before. Greeley spoke to the Wall Street Journal about what is taking place today and how a company reacts to "bleisure" can have an impact on retention and recruitment of employees.
