Business travel is back - but at what expense to workers?

Analysis: Only a third of workers are happy to be back travelling for work post-pandemic, so what are their concerns and how can they be addressed?

Concerns include feeling stressed, exhausted, homesick and anxious during or after travel. Moreover, emerging threats due to ongoing geopolitical conflicts, rising discrimination against certain communities and ethnicities and increased incidence of natural disasters are causing further anxiety. There are also the negative health impacts business travel can have.

Even where such policies mention gender or members of the LGBTQ+ community, they are largely generalised, over-looking factors such as ethnicity, disability, or health status. This lack of personalisation not only undermines employee well-being but also exposes organisations to increased risk, given that research shows that factors in a given location can put certain individuals at greater risk than others who may share some but not all of the same characteristics.

By adopting personalised solutions and investing in employee safety and well-being, companies can retain top talent, enhance performance, and mitigate risk. By fostering a culture of safety and prioritising employee well-being during travel, companies not only cultivate a sense of confidence and eagerness to embark on business journeys but also underscore to their employees a profound sense of value, ensuring that their safety, security, and overall well-being remain paramount.
