Organizations are continuing to plan their strategies after pandemic-imposed restrictions, and one area of renewed focus is extended business travel (EBT).

For organizations beginning to develop an EBT program, or reevaluating their current program, our article, Key Considerations for Extended Business Traveler Programs, highlights key questions you need to answer and provides some recommended policy support items to include in your program.

Key Questions to Evaluate Your EBT Program

To position your EBT program as a strategic tool to meet your organization’s business needs in an evolving post-pandemic workplace, you need to answer some key questions to avoid potential compliance issues and support duty of care for your employees.

Define extended business travel – what does extended business travel mean to your organization and what is its purpose?
Decide on administrative structure/program oversight – who has ultimate oversight for the EBT program and how is it administered?
Develop processes and policies – do you have a formal policy or guidelines in place with clear documentation?
Identify employee tracking – do you have an employee tracking mechanism in place to manage tax, immigration, and duty of care concerns?
Leverage mobility provider network – are you able to identify and leverage existing providers to support your program?
Coordinate support – do you have a mechanism in place to coordinate EBT support?

6 ways to evaluate your EBT program

For more information on how you can make EBTs a strategic part of your mobility program, contact SIRVA Global Advisory Services at globaladvisoryservices@sirva.com or reach out to your SIRVA account manager or SIRVA sales representative.
