This latest blog post tackles another trend we believe is driving forward the need to redefine care in business travel: changes in travel habits.

Fresh from its preview at the Business Travel Show Europe, we’re pleased to officially launch our Business Travel Barometer, an interactive quiz that assesses how your current travel management programme stacks up against the pillars of cost, care, and customer – helping you to identify areas where you can make improvements and shift towards a more care-centric approach that builds loyalty to your travel programme.

Alongside changes in expectations, the second trend we believe is influencing the need to reconsider our definition of care, is the change in the make-up of the global workforce. In our latest 'Redefining Care' blog, we explore why it's more important than ever to have a travel programme that caters to the individual needs and expectations of the workforce - particularly in relation to Gen-Z travellers.
