Is your business keeping up? Try automating your travel and expense management process

It’s more important than ever for your organization to focus on creating positive experiences for employees. One of the most effective ways is automating your travel and expense management system.

Here are three ways T&E can help improve your company’s employee experience:

1. Save Time

Employees value their time and resent doing cumbersome tasks. By streamlining and automating repetitive processes like submitting and processing expense reports and approving and paying supplier invoices, your employees can focus on more important work instead of getting bogged down by a tedious expense submission process. When Cirque du Soleil, for example, needed a swift way to ensure their employees could focus on the show and less on the painful process of managing manual expenses, they used SAP Concur solutions to ensure employees were able to submit their work expenses from anywhere, simply using their mobile device. This helped employees get reimbursed faster. It also helped to ensure purchases were confidential and within company policy guidelines.

2. Alleviate Stress

When it comes to expense reports, slow and poor expense management processes can add unnecessary stress on employees. To alleviate these concerns and increase employee satisfaction, companies may benefit from applying automation and AI to expense processes. Less stress and strain plus greater compliance adds up to happier, empowered employees.

3. Eliminate Confusion

A calm employee is a happy employee. We all know business travelers want to get moving again, and many might be nervous as heck about it. Information helps, so they know what they will confront at destinations and be alerted if conditions change. With apps that mesh with existing travel and expense solutions, you can put all that info in one place: itineraries, schedules, COVID-19 protocols, flight cancellations, gate changes, and plenty more. When you achieve duty of care; employees attain peace of mind.
