Providing Duty of Care for a Globally Mobile Workforce
"Whilst an increased movement of the workforce around the globe is essential for strategic growth, this rise in global mobility brings with it inherent risks to both the individual and the organisation.

themselves encountering a wide range of scenarios out of their control.
