Business travel can be intense
It damages established boundaries
It breaks your duty of care towards your team
It's easy for companies to forget that employees are giving their free time when traveling on business. Instead of spending their evenings with family or friends, pursuing their hobbies, or relaxing at home, they are on the road putting in extra hours to travel.They deserve to have some personal space in the evening, especially when they have an early morning start ahead. Whether they want to make phone calls to loved ones, order room service, or explore the city, it's essential to respect your corporate travelers' time outside their schedule.On top of this, business travelers may feel anxious about leaving their families for the first time after last year's pandemic. Expecting employees to have a roomie and be in business mode 24/7, especially after the turmoil of 2020, is the fastest way to breed job dissatisfaction and have your employees searching for a new job.
