Do you remember the old Volkswagen commercials that used the term “Fahrvergnügen?”
Yes, it really is a word and means “driving enjoyment” when translated from German into English. Well, Google — and now Uber — are spending millions of dollars investing in self-driving cars.
Where’s the enjoyment in that?
Corporate travel policy compliance is at an all time low. In fact, many sources report compliance at an all-time low, in the range of 55 to 60%.
The reason?
For starters, the increasing use of mobile apps and browsing, combined with younger business travelers are have a different ideas about convenience and maintaining a work-life balance rather than strict compliance with travel policy.
More and more companies are implementing travel risk management (TRM) protocols for their employees in increasing numbers, according to a study released by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA).
Of the 250 travel managers, security officers and human resources personnel surveyed, 83% reported their travel programs have TRM protocols in place to ensure the safety and well-being of their business travelers.
Of the ones who don’t, 60% said they are planning to adopt TRM protocols within the next two years.
Waiting for a flight is more than inconvenient.
It could mean missing your connection or an important meeting — or it could lead to a wholesale derailment or drastic change of your travel itinerary. Needless to say, flight delays are frustrating.
To make matters worse there’s a lot you don’t know, or haven’t been told, regarding your delayed flight. Sure, weather events and mechanical issues cause flights to get delayed. But believe it or not there are many more reasons why you might be stuck in the terminal rather than heading to your destination.
