 Passion bound by responsibility

Is Trust Cheaper?
 Background:
– Traditional travel expense procedures are burdensome and
assume people can’t be trusted.
 Hypothesis:
– Such procedures cost more than they save and are
demoralizing.
 Experiment:
– Pre-survey and audit. Try for three months in a few units
with other units as controls. Post-survey and audit.
