Four Ways to Boost Business Travelers’ AI Adoption

Image
In 2023, we asked almost 4,000 business travelers around the world what they considered the most stressful stage of business travel. At the top of the list was the planning, booking, and organizing stage (43%), followed by the actual travel (33%), and then catching up on work and filing expense reports after the trip (24%). One would expect that generative AI—which also coincidentally took off beginning in 2023—would be rapidly adopted by those who saw booking a business trip or filing an expense report as stressful endeavors. There are some employees who are already embracing this, but there’s also room to grow. In our 2025 survey, responses are reserved yet optimistic. Nearly nine in 10 business travelers (88%) say that they would be open to using AI-powered automation to support some element of business travel—booking, making changes, or completing an expense report. Although just shy of two in 10 (17%) say they would prefer booking via an AI-curated list of options based on th...

SalesTalent.com Sales Recruiters Launch Free Sales Quota Calculator and Quota Realism Checker

Image
An ungated tool that helps sales leaders and reps test whether quota assumptions are fantasy or grounded in real sales math. SalesTalent.com Sales Recruiters today announced the launch of its Sales Quota Calculator, also called the Quota Realism Checker, a free online tool created to help sales leaders and salespeople sanity-check whether a quota is achievable based on the inputs that drive it. Sales quota-setting often fails for one simple reason: the math underlying the assumptions is rarely tested. Everyone agrees on a number, and months later, the debate turns into “a sales execution failure,” even though the real issue is that the quota was never going to pencil out with critical inputs such as activity capacity, conversion rates, and sales cycle length. This matters because quota attainment remains stubbornly low across sectors such as software sales. For example, RepVue’s Cloud Sales Index reported 43.14% quota attainment in Q4 2024, with results sitting in the low-40% range...

Study finds burnout, purpose gaps and inequality are behind Singapore’s rank as one of the lowest workplace happiness rate in APAC, behind Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Australia Singapore’s workforce has not lost faith in the idea of finding happiness in the workplace – but many are struggling to experience it in practice. New research from Jobstreet by SEEK reveals a widening gap between what workers believe work should feel like and what they are actually living day to day, with burnout, limited progression and uneven access to opportunity emerging as critical pressure points. The Workplace Happiness Index: Singapore, conducted with research agency Nature, surveyed 1,000 respondents in Singapore’s employment market, aged 18 to 64.
