For years, travel agents preached that a good travel policy was essential to T & E cost controls. That's still true, but many customers have told us that the harder part is implementing the travel policy . So, Atlas Travel International went to work on designing a program to increase travel policy compliance.
The result is Travel Policy Plus, the first travel policy incentive program in the country.
Jennifer Vecchi, director of
Atlas Meetings+ Motivation, has proven once again that "anything that can be measured can be improved." In our first implementation of Travel Policy Plus, we were able to increase travel policy compliance from 30% to almost 50%, saving $20,000 for the customer after all program expenses.
Case Study: Travel Policy Plus Implementation #1
Travel Policy Plus was introduced to Fast Search in March 2004. The company's objective was to increase the 7-day advance booking percentage. At the time TravelPolicy Plus was implemented, the 7-day advance compliance rate was 30.30%. Over the past seven months, we've managed to increase the compliance rate to 46.88%. The 16.58% differential will translate into savings in the neighborhood of $30,000!!
Once the award costs ($7,000) and promotion costs ($3,600) are deducted, the net savings to Fast Search will be in the vicinity of $19,400.
