How often is precious time wasted driving to and from airports- or just waiting in traffic? Key corporate employees command considerable salaries. It is a financially losing proposition for a company when you consider both the hard and soft cost dollars associated with not having a key employee working. Although that employee still receives compensation for waiting in traffic or flying on an airplane, there is a significant decrease in productivity. Unlike flying on an airplane, there is little or no opportunity to complete any work when a person is behind the wheel.

Now take into account the travel miles, tolls, parking, delays and cancelled flights and a company can quickly accrue significant expenses for just one employee.
