Travelling for Work: Health and Wellbeing eLearning Course

Course Overview

Business travel can have a negative impact on employee health and wellbeing. Jet lag and dehydration make air travel physically stressful, while travel of all kinds may disrupt personal routines, making it harder to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Inexperienced business travellers frequently lack the know-how to manage and mitigate these impacts. The knock-on effects for organisations can be substantial: lost productivity, poor performance and reduced employee satisfaction. The challenges of frequent business travel have also been found to significantly impact employee retention.

“Travelling for Work: Health and Wellbeing” equips learners with the information and skills to stay healthy and well while travelling for work. The 3-minute animation—with rich, learning-focused visual content and lively audio narration—walks the learner through the travel process from preparation to staying away from home, providing insights into the pitfalls and tips for staying well.

Course Objectives

• How to prepare for a safe trip
• How to make a long journey comfortable, and
• How to manage wellbeing while away from home

The course also includes a short assessment, so learners can test their understanding of the material.
