Now is the time to build the travel program you wish you had on March 1, 2020.
As many of us discovered this year, managing a travel program in a pandemic becomes especially difficult when your program isn’t built to mass-complete tasks in scale (like cancelling every air reservation you have and trying to track down the vouchers and waivers for each). Processes and policies that once served daily management needs displayed their weaknesses when industry-wide bans and restrictions halted non-essential travel in an instant and the resulting tasks came in giant waves over the course of just days.
We’re all adapting the way we manage travel to better fit the new normal. It’s not going to be an easy task, especially in the beginning.
With Gant, preparing your travel program for whatever comes next is a lot easier than trying to go at it alone.
