Anyone else's division seeing reduced travel budgets?

Heads up from my side of GEHC – looks like travel budgets are getting significantly tightened. Heard from a few colleagues in different business units that expense reports for travel are facing more scrutiny and approvals are harder to come by. This is impacting everything from client visits to internal team meetups. Feels like a cost-cutting measure that could have unintended consequences on collaboration and market presence. Anyone else's area experiencing this? Curious if this is a company-wide push or specific to certain divisions. Wondering if this is a precursor to something bigger or just a way to squeeze a bit more out of the budget.

Yeah, we're definitely feeling the pinch here too. Seems like anything non-essential is on the chopping block. Makes coordinating those crucial face-to-face meetings a real challenge, and I'm worried about how it'll affect building relationships with new clients. Hopefully, there's a plan to balance this with maintaining our competitive edge.

Confirmed on this end as well. Approvals are taking longer and require more justification than ever before. It's understandable given the current economic climate, but it's definitely making it harder to keep momentum going on projects that rely on travel. We're having to get creative with virtual options, but it's not quite the same.
