McKesson’s United
States-booked air volume increased 8 percent in 2015, owing to company
acquisitions. The pharmaceutical company, however, is working to control costs
in 2016 and decrease U.S.-booked volume to $46 million. It plans to decrease
internal travel by 25 percent and increase the use of teleconferencing. Last
year it also cut the number of hotel properties and chain relationships by 50
percent to consolidate volume. McKesson has become stricter on enforcing program
compliance, which allowed the company to abandon pre-trip approval.
Additionally, it created a leisure program for its travelers, which extends
corporate discount rates to employees renting cars for personal use. In 2016,
the company has plans to implement meetings cards, promote ridesharing like
Uber and Lyft over rental cars and taxis, increase the company’s rebate and
implement spend-tracking tools per business unit.
