Travel tip ‘The ultimate dream, an expedition to
the north and south pole’
Travellers better protected on their business
trip
It’s a turbulent economic time and companies are seeking ways to reduce their costs. Years ago the travel policies were already put under a microscope, now the focus is switched to the meetings & events policy. Research shows that nearly 25 – 40% of the entire travel budget is spent on meetings & events.
However, few companies actually have insight in the expenses of business gatherings, congresses and events and therefore are also not aware of how to realize savings. The main reason for this is the fragmented way that the various departments, business units and layers within the organization organize events. For example, the employee events organized by the management assistants, sales incentives, product launches, relationship- and marketing events, board meetings and the recruitment- and training events from Human Resources.
There are several ways to gain insight, savings and efficiency. For example event buyers receive management information and gain insight about their spend by outsourcing the organization to CWT Meetings & Events.
Besides being a partner in the area of concept & creation and logistic organization of business meetings and events, CWT Meetings & Events is also an excellent partner for Meeting & Event Management. We can advise and provide tools to gain insight, savings and Return on Investment for meetings and events. For more information, please contact CWT Meetings & Events through 020-2000 320.
