5 Ways to Keep Executive Travel a Healthy Experience
Missing an important business meeting can be a disaster for a company. One crucial conversation could be the difference between the company remaining at its current status quo or becoming a skyrocketing success story. Therefore, an executive should aim to avoid canceling their business meetings whenever possible. Whether that means planning ahead to ensure that they get to their destination on time or taking preventative measures to avoid becoming sick, making sure their negotiations proceed as smoothly as possible is crucial to the company’s success.
For handling the commute, there’s chauffeured transportation. For staying healthy, there are these tips from BCD Travel in Motion for maintaining well-being during business travel. Share them with your coworker so that they’ll be in good shape throughout their trip:
See if your company’s insurance includes additional health resources
Unbeknownst to employees, many insurance plans include services like 24-hour telephone access to nurses or health advisors. Research your company’s insurance policy and see if these benefits are available for executives. If they are, travelers will have an invaluable resource at their disposal if they become ill or some other health problem arises.
Connect with fitness centers in the area
Selecting a hotel with a fitness center should be a goal when you select your traveler’s hotel accommodations. But if it so happens that the executive must stay in a hotel without one, consider negotiating special discounts with nearby gyms so that the traveler has the opportunity for some cardio or a strength training workout during the trip. The exercise will boost his or her mood, relieve stress, and make the trip more enjoyable overall.
Share health-promoting tools
Several online tools can help executives stay healthy while they’re on the road. For runners, the MapMyWalk website highlights running routes in the surrounding area; these routes have been traced out by locals and graded for the ascents encountered during the run. For mealtime, the Healthy Dining finder website can help travelers make better decisions about their diets by showing them a list of restaurants that have been approved by dieticians. Both of these sites also have accompanying apps, so executives can also reference them on the go.
Stress the importance of sleep
Falling asleep when you’re dealing with high-stress situations is difficult enough, and when you’re trying to sleep in an unfamiliar environment sleep may become even more elusive. Encourage travelers to have items with them that will help them fall asleep faster, such as sleep masks, noise-cancelling headphones, and white noise apps.
Educate them on hotel room exercise
Executives don’t need equipment to stay fit — if you’re unable to connect with local fitness centers or the traveler’s schedule doesn’t allow for a trip to the gym, there are various exercises that executives can do in their hotel rooms, like squats, lunges, and push-ups, to name a few. If your company has a health specialist, consult with him or her about the safety of these exercises. Otherwise, make sure that travelers feel comfortable doing the exercise and that they know their limits — it’s no use trying to stay fit during business travel if doing so leads to a strained muscle.
A study conducted by Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health found that travelers who are on the road for half a month or more are more prone to obesity and higher body mass indices than those who don’t. However, by advocating that your co-workers follow the advice outlined above, you can keep your executive travelers in top form. Even if you can’t prevent sickness altogether, there are plenty of ways to keep executives happy, healthy, and ready to conquer the business world.
