Other economic incentives

Besides the pure cost-cutting potential, there are several additional reasons why organisations should consider setting up target-oriented travel plans:

• Be foresighted – prevent risks associated with unstable energy prices and stricter/uncertain travel efficiency demands in the future.
• Improve public relations and raise the standard for environmental audits by incorporating profound emission/cost-reduction strategies for employee travel.
• Provide employees with good accessibility and communication alternatives in order to attract efficient and competent staff.
• Alleviate employee stress and improve their health conditions, indirectly affecting both work efficiency and number of sick days.
• Reduce loss of employee working hours (improve productivity) in cases in which it is possible to change travel mode from, for example, driving or flying to video conference.
