“The findings from TravelPerk’s recent research show that for a sizeable proportion of employees, business travel can increase feelings of passion towards their work.This is impressive given that we know that if employees are more passionate about their roles, they are more likely to be engaged and productive, and better manage the stresses of their role.When business travel is arranged thoughtfully with employees’ needs in mind, this increases job satisfaction.”
“We firmly believe that when people travel for work to connect with others, it creates positive energy that can only be experienced in real life. We're seeing companies invest in travel for the productivity that results from that connection. This is why traveling for business is increasingly viewed as a lever for business growth, instead of an expense.Younger generations are especially eager to get out into the world after having been at home during the pandemic. Businesses that prioritize travel opportunities for their younger workforce are nurturing talent and investing in not just their future, but that of their company."
