Could Workplace Travel be Costing you Budget AND Talent?
This webinar, hosted by Roomex and ITM on 18th September, will explore the hidden financial, operational and human costs of poorly managed workforce travel. Drawing on insights from Roomex’s latest report, Reinventing the Journey, the session will uncover how outdated travel processes are driving stress, financial strain and even staff turnover across field-based industries. The discussion will feature Roomex experts offering real-world examples of how organisations have overcome these challenges, plus case studies and practical takeaways that prove change is possible. Through data insights, client case studies and an interactive panel, the webinar will highlight why workforce travel management is no longer just a logistical issue but a strategic business challenge impacting retention, compliance and cost control.
