McKesson's 2016 U.S.-booked air volume declined about 15
percent from 2015 levels, as the pharmaceutical and medical supply firm pushed
to reduce the cost of business travel. Among McKesson's 2016 cost-cutting
initiatives were restrictions on same-day travel and the allowance of
ride-sharing. The company also increased its level of policy-compliance
reporting and continues to encourage remote conferencing and virtual meetings
as alternatives to travel. McKesson also conducted a hotel RFP in 2016. In
2017, the company is globalizing its travel program. While the vast majority of
McKesson's travel spending in 2016 was for U.S. bookings, the company does have
operations in Canada, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand and the U.K. Different
regions and business units can formulate their own travel policies. McKesson
does not have a consolidated travel management company outside the U.S., though
Egencia serves as its primary TMC outside the U.S. As of March 31, 2017,
McKesson employed 78,000 employees, 27,000 of whom were part-time. One year
earlier, the company employed 68,000 full-time-equivalent employees.
