Philippe Weiss Discusses Travel Budget Tightening on WGN Radio’s Noon Business Lunch

Philippe Weiss, president of Seyfarth at Work, appeared on WGN Radio Chicago’s “Noon Business Lunch” on March 3, 2026 to discuss why companies are increasingly cutting back on employee travel.

During the segment, Weiss noted that travel budgets have become a target for cuts, driven by inflation and higher prices for flights and hotels. For employees who travel frequently, these cutbacks are more noticeable, as many view travel stipends and reimbursements as critical benefits.

The full discussion can be heard at the 5:53 mark of the episode, "Noon Business Lunch 3/3/26: Stocks tumble, job stickiness, travel budget tightening."
