Poor Travel Management Exposes Organizations to Severe Penalties

Organizations with multinational operations and those with employees who travel across borders are increasingly concerned about managing risk and the duty of care for their travelers, says a new survey by KDS. Business travellers can be put at risk in many ways: natural disasters, geographical or political conflicts, kidnappings, assaults, accidents etc. Therefore, companies try to control their employee’s business travel by monitoring and controlling their bookings and cutting rogue or maverick travel buyer behavior.

“The survey sends every corporation a tough wake-up call,” said KDS Marketing Director Stanislas Berteloot. “Organization’s traveler tracking initiatives are either not working or are not properly enforced, it is absolutely crucial that travel spend is channeled through the defined travel procurement tool to successfully provide duty of care to your mobile workforce.”
