Reduce Travel Costs with Teleconferencing
Teleconferencing will never replace a face to face meeting but a conference call is an excellent supplement. They allow some meetings to take place which would otherwise be impossible.
Sample savings
A single inter capital flight costs $150-$600
A conference call with six participants lasting for an hour would cost $90.00. Because it is easier to join than flying people around the country, more people can attend.
This is why conference calls are a good supplement for face to face meetings
- They reduce costs
- Faster and better informed decisions can be made because of the ease of having experts together. In turn this helps organisations to be responsive and competitive
- The risk of accidents by staff driving home after an 18 hour day business travel day is reduced
Drumming up support from your staff
- Achieve more in less time
- Better control over travel schedules by replacing some meetings with conference calls
- Work life balance; spend more time with the family instead of in an airport
Actually reducing travel
The fastest way to change habits is to make it harder to travel. Ensure that all travel requests require a few lines in an email justifying why the meeting cannot be conducted by conference call.
