Why company policies are important when you manage employee expenses

In a globalized world, business travels and employee expenses are increasingly influencing companies’ everyday activities. The many transactions can be difficult to keep on track, and employees might create excessive consumptions, if their expenses are not supervised and company policies are not enforced.

Effective company policies value for your company

A survey made by BCD Travel about travel policies in 2024, shows that about two-thirds of business travelers, out of the more than 1,200 participants, do not comply with their Company’s policies from time to time.

Furthermore, a survey made by Deloitte in 2024 about tendencies for business travelers, found that 55% of the surveyed travel managers, who participated in the survey, view booking-compliance as a top cost-control measure.

By defining, controlling and enforcing your company’s policies, you first and foremost increase the bottom line value. In addition to the financial benefits, you will make everyday life of your employees less complicated by ensuring that they do not lose track of what is right or wrong. 

Effective and verifiable company policies are therefore of great importance to your company as:

• • You achieve far greater savings on the bottom line

• • They help you avoid financial fraud and / or overuse

• • They provide a better overview and transparency as employees are proactively warned if they violate company policies
