\u201cClients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.\u2019 Richard Branson.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Travelling away from home, hectic schedules, jetlag, adapting to foreign cultures and missing the family can all take a toll on business travelers \u2013 Road Warriors as they are called.
\nTo show appreciation to employees who spend days or weeks away on company business is vital. Remember – Take care of your Road Warriors and they\u2019ll take care of your clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rivonia B&B Garden Estate will help you take care of your employees while they\u2019re in Sandton on business.
\nWe offer super friendly staff, excellent service, great accommodation, a business centre for meetings and above all \u2013 tranquil surrounds.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some tips to show your \u2018away from home\u2018 employees you care<\/h4>\n

Pick and choose. Not all these suggestions will suit your company budget or policy<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. provide your company\u2019s \u2018road warriors\u2019 with crucial health information such as travel alerts, immunization requirements and contact numbers which they\u2019ll need in case of a medical emergency<\/li>\n
  2. don\u2019t book flights that get your employee out of bed at 4am in the morning just to save a couple of Rand<\/li>\n
  3. some of your young employees may not have flown before. Some practical tips on travelling by air might put them at ease<\/li>\n
  4. for long flights book Premiere Economy if Business Class seats prove too expensive<\/li>\n
  5. provide back-up battery power banks, luggage tags, carry-on bags, earbuds, passport holders or a traveler\u2019s first aid kit. Some of these are low cost and will show your appreciation<\/li>\n
  6. book your employees into a top-rated friendly establishments that will take care of their needs and provide peace and tranquility in their off-time. Bland hotels can be lonely places<\/li>\n
  7. Include a meal allowance in your employee\u2019s budget \u2013 naturally within limits<\/li>\n
  8. offer to pay for long distance calls home or allow their partners to join them i.e if your employee meets the additional costs. \u2018Away time\u2019 puts a strain on relationships<\/li>\n
  9. offer those who have been away on business over weekends and holidays some time off or flexible working hours to catch up with themselves and their families<\/li>\n
  10. a Thank You email from top management on their return adds a nice touch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Before you jump up and down and start shaking your head … consider what replacing an employee who has travelling burn- out will cost your company. The expense will far exceed some of the above \u2018minor\u2019 costs.<\/p>\n
