Fostering Employee Wellbeing During Business Travel – Part 2

By: BCD Marketplace Partner – Sanctifly

Employees are the backbone of any organization and supporting your employees’ needs is an excellent way to support your business. Business travel presents employees with a range of challenges including logistical difficulties in completing work tasks, unexpected travel delays, and added stress when juggling responsibilities while navigating unfamiliar locations. That’s why investing in the health and wellness needs of workers who travel frequently for business has never been more important for HR managers. Sanctifly is here to help corporations take care of your employees with new wellness options to change the landscape of corporate travel for employees.

Provide Meditation and Mindfulness Resources to Help Employees Maintain a Problem-Solving Mindset While Traveling 

Remaining work-focused while on a business trip can prove difficult. Between the unfamiliar work environment and grappling with the loss of everyday routines, workers may struggle with decision fatigue and distraction. Providing meditation and mindfulness resources offer employees an opportunity to reset and access their problem-solving skills to better accomplish tasks. With a Sanctifly membership, your travel team has access to a wide range of tools designed to support a mindset of mindfulness during business trips. Travelers can access our library of mini workout and stretch routines that can be completed in a hotel room or even while waiting for their flight to help get re-centered in the midst of a hectic schedule.

Establish Backup Options in the Event of Delays and Cancellations to Reduce the Stress of an Unexpected Situation 

Flight cancellations and travel delays are among the most stressful challenges corporate travelers encounter during trips. According to Reuters, during the Memorial Day 2022 holiday weekend, more than 2,500 flights were canceled by United States airlines and this trend is expected to continue as the year progresses. As summer ramps up in 2022, staffing and pilot shortages are predicted to cause high rates of flight cancellations and delays. Having established backup plans in place to contend with these issues takes some of the anxiety out of dealing with these challenges. Make Sanctifly a proactive part of your organization’s travel planning. We work with our hotel partners to provide day rooms, access to hotel amenities, and other convenience features that make a delayed or canceled flight less stressful.

Access to Airport Maps & Healthy Food Options Helps Employees Quickly & Easily Navigate an Unfamiliar Airport 

When arriving at an unfamiliar airport, being able to efficiently navigate to areas such as car rental and return hubs helps to streamline the arrival and departure processes. Additionally, the ability to easily locate healthy food options while traveling can be a challenge. Travelers being able to identify a great spot for a meal can help cut down on aimless wandering around the terminal, resulting in less anxiety about finding food in time to be able to enjoy it before boarding their next flight. Additionally, being able to quickly and easily identify healthy meal options can help travel employees avoid the pitfall of choosing the first food option available, which may not offer the most nutritious dining experience. The Sanctifly app has healthy food options and airport maps for hundreds of major airports, allowing members to use a single app to get access to everything they need for healthy, stress-free airport downtime.

De-Stress the Travel Process with Perks like Massages, Saunas, & Spa Access 

Being away from familiar surroundings and routines can be stressful. Based on a study conducted for World Bank Group, approximately 75% of staff disclosed feeling high or very high stress related to business travel. Whether employees are looking for a way to get into a positive mindset at the beginning of a business trip or decompress as they journey home, travelers with a Sanctifly membership can enjoy access to saunas, a massage, or take advantage of spa services at participating partners. After working in a new setting, navigating an unfamiliar city, and contending with other travel-related challenges, employees can de-stress as they wait for a flight. Sanctifly offers access to 140 airport spa locations with a membership plan.
