Travel Risk + TripAdvisor + Safety Tips for Women + Meetings Risk Assessment

Forty percent of the estimated 500,000 passengers in the air at any given time are travelling for business. There are more people overseas on business than ever before and many more companies are mobilising large groups of workers – sometimes from multiple countries – into overseas worksites and new locations of which they may have limited knowledge of local risks (crime trends, for instance).

This means that there are, potentially, higher numbers of business travellers in harm’s way who, naturally, expect their company to provide more than the basic security support plan.

In the age of international assignments, workforce mobility has shifted from an administrative HR issue into a top risk for multinational businesses. Companies are under greater pressure to provide a duty of care and travel risk management strategy that keeps their staff safe, wherever they are in the world, with a recognition that each trip comes with its own, unique risks. This extends to support in the event of an emergency.
