With globalisation, more people are travelling and working across borders. Studies point to a 25% increase in international assignees over the past decade and a 50% expected growth in mobile workers by 2020*. Meanwhile, an analysis of international business travel against travel risk ratings found that nearly 1 in 3 trips abroad are to countries with a higher medical or security risk rating. How organisations protect their travellers from travel risks and safeguard business continuity? International SOS and Foundation have conducted surveys across Asia on travel risk mitigation and will be holding a workshop to share its results. Attend this to find out : - What is the state of development in travel risk mitigation for organisations in Asia? - Are roles and responsibilities of travel and assignment health, safety and security policy clearly understood within an organisation? - What measures are in place to prepare and assist business travellers and international assignees? - Are organisations measuring the effectiveness of their travel risk mitigation policies and procedures? Join an interactive workshop with other Risk Managers as we deep dive and gain insights related to corporate preparedness, employee education and incident response. Have a chance to experience what goes on behind the scenes of travel assistance via an exclusive tour of International SOS Assistance Centre in KL.
