CWT Develops Innovative Travel Stress Index to Support Companies

Wednesday, 27 June 2012

Did you know that according to the United Nations International Labor Organisation, over 40% of employees suffer from stress on a worldwide basis?*

As part of CWT’s continued focus on the business traveller, CWT Solutions Group is developing the CWT Travel Stress Index.

Companies are responsible for the well-being of their employees and CWT is looking to help companies address the stress that can be associated with regular business travel.

The CWT Travel Stress Index seeks to quantify the cost to the organisation of the stress that employees can incur from traveling (reduced productivity, absenteeism due to burnout, stress-related injuries and illnesses) and use it to help companies make better travel policy decisions.

This video gives you an overview of the CWT Travel Stress Index, how it works and why CWT has chosen to develop this exciting new tool.
