Traveller profiling for more policy compliance

The key words to succeed in addressing travellers individually are “traveller segmentation”. This approach helps to profile traveller types and gives you a better understanding about what kind of traveller types can be found within your company.

Traveller profiling allows you to specify your employee messages and maximise your travel programme.

There are different breeds of business travellers that are starting to shift lines from what we would have traditionally expected. Technology, millennial global trotters and evolving expectations means it’s time to decode what these new tribes might look like.

FOMOs

Typically found in middle-management this tribe is engaged, enjoys business trips and uses technology to stay ahead. Surprisingly not very picky when it comes to accommodation; as long as they have a place to work and a good Wi-Fi connection they will get down to business.
