Episode 13: New year, new mindset - business travel, mental health and well-being
Show Notes

Goodness knows this past year has been hard on everyone’s mental health and well-being but maybe it is now time to consider those two things more seriously when we finally emerge from this dreadful pandemic.

This week's podcast is hosted by BTN Europe digital editor Mark Frary along with psychologist Dr Lucy Rattrie, David Bishop of Gray Dawes Group, Nike’s Daniel Tallos and Carolyn Pearson, CEO of Maiden Voyage, a consultancy specialising in safety training for business travellers.

In the podcast, we discuss whether companies sending their travellers on business trips consider their mental health and well-being enough and the effect of the pandemic on people stopped from travelling who love to travel on business.

We discuss how to measure mental health and well-being and whether companies need to invest more in this area. We also look at how well-being and duty of care are converging and why new restrictions mean we might be taking fewer business trips.

We also learn about holistic bingo, fake commutes and other ways to improve your mental health during the Covid crisis.
