If employees are arriving at, and spending time in, destinations well rested, calm and focused, that translates to better performance and ultimately, a better return on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of the travel manager therefore plays an integral part in helping their organisations\u2019 travellers maintain good mental health. Take time, with your travel management companies (TMCs), to review where wellbeing and mental health support can be woven into your travel policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for tips on how to minimise travel stress and ensure business travel has a more positive impact on mental health for every traveller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_358447820-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_358447820-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_358447820-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_358447820-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_358447820-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_358447820-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_358447820-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Switching to day flights rather than night flights can help minimise jet lag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minimise stress: plan ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;Where possible, switch to day rather than night flights to minimise jet lag. Not everyone can sleep well on a plane and the cost of that could be a lack of energy and an impact on business performance on arrival. Would the traveller be more comfortable in a window or aisle seat, depending on the length of the journey? Or would booking the class above help travellers have a more restful experience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;If the flight is very early morning, can your traveller get to the airport easily? Make a point of considering the entire journey from the traveller\u2019s home to their hotel and minimise the stress of that journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;Ask your travellers prior to booking if they would like to share whether they may need additional support with any pre-existing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;One in six people now live with a disability, according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/disability-and-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Health Organisation<\/a>.

Work with your TMC so you can <a href=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/au\/supporting-business-travellers-with-visible-and-hidden-disabilities\">ensure travellers with a disability can have the best possible travel experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key documents to hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;Ensure passports and visas are up-to-date and valid for where your traveller is visiting. Check the type of luggage allowed on the ticket type too \u2013 if it\u2019s cabin luggage only, find out if they\u2019re allowed a bag for the overhead locker as well as under the seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;Easily manage boarding cards; encourage travellers to download them to their smartphone wallet.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/au\/our-platform\">Reed &amp; Mackay clients, who have opted for online check-in, can also easily access travel documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_508998532-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Business man using his mobile phone\" class=\"wp-image-46710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_508998532-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_508998532-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_508998532-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_508998532-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_508998532-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_508998532-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ensure business travellers and event delegates have easy access to who to contact in an emergency while away<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;Provide maps of airports or other large-scale areas, such as conference or exhibition centres, that your travellers are visiting. Add information such as whether those venues offer delegates a wellness space or relaxation hub. Furthermore, include full details of the trip so the traveller knows exactly where they\u2019re going for meetings or events, how they\u2019ll get there and how long it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;Include details of who to contact in case of an emergency during a trip, from local offices of your company to embassies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time off in lieu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;Work with your organisation to offer time off in lieu if a trip takes several days, particularly if it lasts overs a weekend. Ask your TMC for data on bookings on how many hours travellers have flown and across how many time zones. This can be translated into relatable data that demonstrates how many extra days&#8217; work is involved, to show to C-suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/au\/bleisure-travel-policies-everything-you-need-to-know\">Is there an opportunity to offer blended travel \u2013 bleisure \u2013 at the end of a trip?<\/a> If employees are combining leisure travel with a business trip, plan ahead for approved trips and excursions.
