Duty of Care and Dynamic Spend Management in Higher Education Travel Programs
A SAP Concur blog post discusses how colleges and universities can establish travel programs with strong duty of care principles. It reviews the historical evolution of duty of care, including the impact of the UK's Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act of 2007. Four optimization areas are proposed: establishing travel approval and booking processes, optimizing traveler communication, encouraging campus-wide engagement, and using technology to mitigate foreseeable risk. SAP Concur has moved to providing all itinerary services from Concur Request, Concur Travel, Concur TripIt, and Concur TripLink for outside bookings via API automation to university-based DOC providers.
