BCD Travel has published a guide to help corporate travel programs handle disruptions such as hurricanes, geopolitical events, and labor actions. The guide proposes a five-step framework: stakeholder alignment, supplier flexibility, intelligence-driven decisions, traveler communication and support, and continuous assessment. It emphasizes building resilience before a crisis, not during one.

BCD Travel has published a guide on assessing travel program resilience. By identifying strengths, vulnerabilities, and priorities, organizations can determine where to strengthen resilience.

BCD Travel has published a guide on supporting travelers during disruption. When disruption occurs, travelers need clear guidance, timely communication, and access to support when it matters most. The content emphasizes that policy and communication, supplier strategy, and intelligence create resilience before disruption.
BCD Travel states that resilient travel programs are built on flexible policies, strategic supplier relationships, cross-functional ownership, and connected digital experiences.

Continuously evaluate supplier performance, not just annual sourcing cycles.
