The traveling employee is a stakeholder in – and a customer of – responsible travel management. The social and ethical dimension of responsible travel management goes beyond sustainable procurement. Business travel has become an integral part of conducting business and as such needs to be considered in duty of care. Collaboration between many internal divisions within a company (i.e., travel, HR, legal, risk management, medical, security and procurement) is necessary to establish the balance required for a successful and comprehensive program.

COMMUNICATION
Internal employee communication has for ages been limited to time consuming phone calls or emails. An internal communication application that enables employees to communicate with each other over smart phones or browsers substantially increases work efficiency and creates a happy work environment.
MOBILE WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT
Time sheet management of the mobile workforce is key to ensuring proper reporting and tracking of how remote employees spend their work hours. Enabling the employee to easily report their activities will ensure transparency and reduced work load.
