Today we talk with Krissi Lindsey - Travel Program Manager with Surveying and Mapping. Today's Episode is extremely useful for anyone looking for ways to help grow adoption within their travel program.

Krissi Started at Surveying and Mapping just 2 and a half years ago and took a nonexistent travel program, and got 85% of travelers on board, creating unprecedented savings within the company. She gives a lot of great insight into how she was able to do that - and I think a lot of people will get a ton of value from what Krissi has to say.

Today we get a chance to talk with Tracey Presslor - Director of Travel with Leggett and Platt. Fun fact of they day - they say you never go a day in your life without using something that has a Leggett and Platt component in it. In addition to learning more about Leggett, we talk to Tracey about how she has been at the company for over 20 years, and loves every minute of it. We talk about their ongoing push for their travelers to adopt Duty of Care best practices, and how technology is making it easier than ever.

Tracey gives some great information throughout the episode on how to manage a successful program, and towards the end gives some great advice to be used in at work, and just life in general - so I hope you all enjoy listening!

Please do us a huge favor and leave us some feedback and reviews!
