Get to know your new Travel Management System

31 Oct 2018

All staff are invited to attend a workshop to learn more about the new Travel Management System

Key Travel will replace the existing provider Egencia as the new Travel Management Partner on Wednesday, 5 December 2018.

To ensure all staff are prepared for the change, you are invited to attend a workshop delivered by Key Travel. This session will include an overview and demonstration of the system. Training will also be supported by webinars, drop-in sessions and guidance notes.

The Key Travel system will:

• offer a wide range of fares and rates,
• provide the flexibility to handle complex travel requirements,
• assist the University in meeting our obligation to provide a duty of care to our staff.

This will also mean changes to roles, responsibilities and processes including system set up, data maintenance, bookings and reporting.

Please book onto one of the workshops via Staff Learning and Development.

Key Travel was established in 1980 and works solely in the academic and charity/NGO sectors. They currently provide Travel Management Systems to more than 80 universities and leading charity organisations.

As well as the above training sessions, Key Travel will host a travel event at the Whitworth Hall on Friday, 23 November. At this event you can meet representatives from Key Travel and from some of the travel suppliers.

Please note, all bookings made through the existing Travel Management System will be supported and serviced by Egencia through to trip completion.
