It’s hard to avoid some stress during business travel, but when you have employees that travel often for business, it can be detrimental to their overall health. Some common effects of business travel stress can be:

• Reduction in employee productivity
• Increased risk of costly mistakes
• Lack of attention span and patience
• Mental and physical well-being issues

Unfortunately, employees who are stressed may fail to close deals, make mistakes on contracts, miss deadlines or even lose important company materials. It can also decrease productivity, as many studies have proven that happy employees are focused and efficient, but stressed ones were found to be unfocused and make more mistakes.

Furthermore, stress increases the risk of costly mistakes by making the employee distracted. An employee experiencing high stress levels will be thinking about the problems they have encountered throughout the day and dwelling on their negative experience rather than focusing on their work.

A lack of attention span and patience will eventually lead to issues during a business meeting or event. An employee may not represent their company well when they are feeling irritable and frustrated; they may be short with business contacts or rush through meetings.

Unfortunately, distracted employees could actually lead to physical losses for a company. They could potentially forget documents or electronic equipment because they are focused on their negative travel experience.
