To start, Travel with Purpose (TWP) is a mindset more than anything. We expect all work travel to be purpose-driven and objective-oriented. While Company Retreats and Team Offsites will provide opportunities for in-person collaboration, there will always be situations where travel is needed outside of these recurring events. We absolutely don’t want you to wait for the annual retreat or a team offsite to accomplish meaningful work if in-person collaboration is necessary. This is where TWP comes into play.

You need to have a clear work purpose for your trip (e.g., in-person brainstorming or planning with your team), and we trust everyone to use it when it will bring value to the company. There won’t be a formal process for TWP, and the People Team will not assist with organizing or coordinating these events, so this is something you’ll need to manage on your own.

Important: When logging your expenses, be sure to include TWP in the memo
