Employee Travel Safety

Use the ServiceNow® Employee Travel Safety application to help support safe travel for employees by verifying the site safety and policy compliance of destinations, monitoring employee health status, and keeping a contact log during travel.

Before booking travel in a travel management system, employees request permission for their trips. The employee's manager or a designated travel approver can approve or reject the travel request based on COVID-19 case data and a site safety evaluation for the destination.

When an employee's travel request is approved, monitor their health status using a daily health verification that the employee submits before and during the trip. Employees can also keep a daily contact log for the duration of the trip to track potential exposure.

Use with other Safe Workplace suite applications

Employee Travel Safety is part of a suite of ServiceNow® Safe Workplace suite applications. Use it with these other applications to help your organization prepare its workforce and workplaces to resume operations after emergencies and pandemics like COVID-19.

• With the Employee Readiness Surveys application, evaluate the readiness of your users to return to the workplace by asking them to fill in a survey.
