Policy enforcement is ensuring corporate travel rules are followed through controls, monitoring, and corrective actions to maintain compliance.
Policy enforcement involves actively applying and upholding a company’s corporate travel rules to guide traveler behavior and spending. It can include automated restrictions in booking tools, pre-trip approvals, expense audits, and follow-up actions when guidelines are not met.
Effective enforcement helps protect negotiated rates, control costs, ensure duty of care, and maintain consistency across the organization. Travel managers often combine technology, clear communication, and accountability measures to strengthen compliance and keep the corporate travel program aligned with company objectives.
