Business travel offers numerous opportunities, but it also brings a variety of risks that require a comprehensive travel risk management strategy. From natural disasters like earthquakes to unexpected events such as protests or strikes, disruptions can quickly derail a trip. Other challenges, like a lost passport or forgotten medication, can create stress while navigating the process of finding replacements in unfamiliar places. Even something as simple as getting sick can lead to missed meetings and unexpected costs.

So, when the unexpected does occur, can your business quickly communicate with your travellers to provide health and security updates? Do you have a system to account for all employees and ensure their safety? And if they need help, are they able to easily request assistance?

Traveller assistance apps form an essential part of any travel risk management strategy, providing real-time updates on potential risks and offering direct communication channels for employees to request immediate support when needed. Despite these advantages, misconceptions about these apps lead to low usage rates among employees.
