Take the Pain Out of Travel with Clear Policies

An SAP Concur blog post argues that without clearly spelled-out policies, employees cannot know what is reimbursable, so clear and adaptable travel and expense policies are critical. It cites research showing 100% of travel managers expect to change policies in the coming year, 94% of business travelers plan greener travel steps over the next 12 months, 72% of companies say automated T&E improves response to business challenges, and 34% of businesses adopting T&E automation saw fewer reports rejected over receipts. It advises formalizing policies covering flights, lodging, food and entertainment while building in flexibility.
