Business Travel Risk Management and Duty of Care

Each traveler and corporate entity has different levels of tolerance for overseas travel risk.  Unfortunately, not all travelers are fully informed of the risks, prepared for what might happen, or well supported by policy and procedure.  Some wonder if their firm is capable of responding immediately and appropriately should an incident occur twelve time zones away.  Others take only basic steps to research their destination, and many are unaware of what simple things they can do to prepare to travel safely and ensure a successful trip.

Employers have a duty of care to staff traveling overseas, but not all are aware of what measures to take to identify and mitigate risks in a cost effective and meaningful manner.  We can help.

• Audit of current travel policy, procedures and capacity to respond to overseas incidents
• Develop policies, procedures and staff training appropriate to the level of risk, activity and characteristics of travelers
• Create detailed threat assessment profiles of planned country, region and city destinations that help guide decision making and offer practical guidance that benefits and supports travelers on the ground
• Provide 24 X 7 remote monitoring of travelers and location risks, including focal point for traveler check-in and activation of corporate emergency plans in event of a critical incident
