Business travel

Writing a travel policy your team will actually follow

Clear limits, simple approvals and room for the exceptions that always come up.

Start simple

A policy people can read in five minutes is a policy people follow. Cover the essentials first and add detail only where questions keep coming up.

Set clear booking rules

Define cabin classes, hotel limits and how far ahead to book. Clear numbers remove guesswork for travellers and approvers alike.

Keep approvals light

Ask for approval only when a booking falls outside the rules. Fast approvals keep fares from rising while a request waits.

Share it where people book

Put the policy where travellers and bookers already work, not in a forgotten document. Reminders at the moment of booking are the most effective.

Review it regularly

Revisit the policy every six months. Look at exceptions and feedback to see which rules help and which only slow people down.
