Travel and Transport has launched a new service to drive
practical, trip-specific wellbeing recommendations directly to its customers’
travellers.
The company will integrate
wellbeing advice and tips into pre-trip communication with travellers, such as
the trip summary email they receive 24 hours before a journey, and within Dash
Mobile, Travel and Transport’s app.
Recommendations include healthy
restaurant options near the traveller’s hotel, what fitness facilities their
accommodation offers, information on nearby parks and fitness facilities
available to them and tips to combat jet lag and managing time differences.
Travel and Transport said initial
feedback from its pilot customers has been positive.
“Eastman Chemical Company is
excited to be in the early stages of rolling out Travel and Transport’s new
wellbeing program to our employees,” said Melinda Miller, Travel Services
Manager at Eastman Chemical Company. “Wellbeing is becoming a core
responsibility of good corporate citizenship helping to drive employee
engagement, organisational energy and productivity. We are excited about this
new offering and look forward to our continued work with Travel and Transport
on future enhancements.”
“We are always looking for ways to
improve the traveller experience, and that includes wellbeing,” said Kevin
O’Malley, chairman and CEO of Travel and Transport. “The pre-trip advice is
part of a larger wellbeing initiative at Travel and Transport to provide travel
managers with tools to improve traveller wellbeing and engagement. Additional
tools for travel managers will be unveiled later this year.”
