10:35 AM The Missing Layer in Corporate Travel: Supporting Long-Stay and Project-Based Workforce Mobility

What happens when travel stops being a trip and starts becoming living?

Corporate travel is shifting from short, transient trips to workforce mobility where employees live and work in a destination for weeks or months. Within this shift lies a growing grey area: stays that fall between business travel and relocation, often spanning 7-90 days, yet lacking clear ownership or structure within most programs.

At the same time, traveler needs evolve after the first few nights. Employees require space to live, work, and maintain their wellbeing; needs that are not typically addressed by short-stay models.

This session explores how organizations are addressing this gap by rethinking accommodation as a strategic layer of the travel program better aligned to modern workforce needs while maintaining visibility, control, and duty of care.
