Is your travel policy Covid-19 proof yet?

Expressions like ‘for ever’, ‘everything’, ‘everyone’ or ‘never again’ have been stricken from our dictionary. At Uniglobe we believe in a positive and worldwide recovery of the travel industry. However, we must keep in mind that for some time Covid-19 will continue to make its mark on how we travel and interact with each other. Consequently you should take this into account when streamlining your travel policy, regardless of the size of your company or organisation. But how best to go about it? Here are 8 topics and questions to set you on the right path.  

1) THE DESTINATION

• How do you decide which destinations to fly to?

• What are the criteria that must be met?

2) THE APPROVAL PROCESS

• What will the approval process regarding the destination and the selected route look like?

• Who will be responsible? 

3) ROUTE AND BUDGET

• Will it be compulsory to book only non-stop routes to avoid certain cities or airports?

• Or should the cheapest route take precedence?

4) THE SAFEST CHOICE

• What criteria will help you choose the best airlines, hotels and transport in terms of hygiene and cleaning?

5) THE RISKS

• What can you do as a company or organisation to limit the risk for your travellers to a strict minimum?

• What risks can you handle if necessary?

6) THE EMPLOYEES

• Can employees refuse an important business trip?

• What standards will be used in this regard?

7) MEETINGS

• What physical meetings can you attend?

• And what standards must be met?

8) THE RIGHT BALANCE

• How do you strike the right balance between a sustainable and safe travel policy?
