A recent study by global chauffeur service provider Blacklane has uncovered that 87% of business travelers in the UK experience at least one hour of lost productivity during their trips due to inadequate travel planning.
The findings are particularly concerning for C-level executives, with 38% reporting a loss of four to eight hours of productive work time as a result of travel-related stress.
The report, titled High-End Meets Productivity: The Changing Face of Travel and Work, examines how fragmented travel itineraries contribute to executives losing valuable work hours. The survey also indicates that up to 90% of business travelers are integrating leisure into their work trips to enhance productivity and are actively seeking improved travel experiences, such as chauffeured services.
Dr. Jens Wohltorf, CEO and founder of Blacklane, emphasized the importance of addressing these trends: “This report highlights a significant shift in business travel, where increased comfort and safety are not only a benefit but are essential to boosting productivity, especially for executives. It’s critical for the industry and businesses to understand these changing expectations to better cater to the needs of today’s business travelers.”
As organizations look to optimize their travel strategies, understanding the implications of travel fragmentation will be vital in enhancing overall productivity for professionals on the go.
