One of the most important criteria is the location itself. Unlike typical business travel, where meetings typically occur in cities with accommodations available within a short walk or cab ride of the office, workforce travel requires a more specialized approach.
Workforce Travel vs. Business Travel
Corporate business travel involves work in a boardroom or around a conference table.
In contrast, the workforce travel industry typically occurs in a more informal setting and prioritizes specific needs:
Booking in Remote Locations: Accommodations near job sites and project locations
Specialized Services: Amenities such as large vehicle parking, after-hours meal services, and shared-room configurations
A Platform Made for Flexible Scheduling: Adjustments for unpredictable project timelines, including extensions and early checkouts
Rather than a straightforward nine-to-five workday, workforce crews also have more unique schedules that often require them to work for weeks at a time, work in shifts and share rooms.
Along with remote locations, crews often have specific needs, such as large truck parking needs and after-hours meal services.
Booking teams that could include more than 100 people in locations where the options are limited is not as simple as selecting a room or two from a long list of available rooms.
