IBM - Global Business Service Travel Policies

hi

does any body have an idea on IBM GBS travel policies - what class i can travel, reimbursement issues if any etc

i am looking towards an opportunity with them but then they have mentioned travel @ 80% and not provided details of travel policy.

inputs appreciated ..

Economy class travel for all journeys unless explicitly agreed otherwise by the client in the contract (very rare) or you can find a better grade of travel for less than economy class travel would cost through corporate bookings.

No issues with reimbursement (I don't know of any firms at this scale that do have issues though). In most offices and regions, you get a corporate charge card.

hi Ewe

How about accomodation do u need to fix that yourself or corporation travel agent manage that ...sorry for these question i am in a product based compnay and slightly paranoid when it comes to service based organisation .

Corporate travel agent unless you can show you can get a better deal independently. In reality, people just leave it to corporate service 99% of the time as they handle all the re-booking, last-minute change hassles which come with consulting travel.

Which hotel would Corp Serv place you in if you were Manchester based and posted on a project in IBM GBS Southbank offices ? B&B ??
