CEO: Why I Force My Team To Travel

Companies have lots of hard and fast policies for their employees and some are much more ‘hands-off’ than others. Read the reasons why this company ‘forces’ it employees to travel and use its own product and review/rate that product for its own customers. Any small business can apply these principles to its own policies.

Key Takeaways:

  • Nobody should feel like their job or their manager is running their life. Asking for time off feels like asking your 3rd grade teacher if you can use the bathroom.
  • We need to see our industry and our product through the eyes of our members. Traveling is 10x more powerful (and 200x more fun) than crunching survey data.
  • Everyone, regardless of their position, needs to meet our partners, shake their hands, and dole out some hugs or high-fives (as appropriate). By visiting our partners, we learn world-class hospitality that we take into our jobs and lives.

“We created the Nearly-Mandatory Hotel Stay Policy to ensure that our whole team gets out to see and experience the unbelievable independent hotels in our network.”
