Travel Risk Management
Reduce Risks In Corporate Travel So Your VIPs Can Focus on What They Need To Do
Travel risk management involves all efforts to anticipate, prevent and react to any dangers or risks that business travelers may encounter while embarking on their trips. These risks can include anything from severe weather, political unrest, threats of natural disasters, public health risks such as pandemics, and many others.

Crises can emerge anytime and disrupt even the most meticulously planned business trip. Natural disasters, political unrest, and emergencies beyond your control can potentially put your employees at risk as they travel to conduct business on your company’s behalf.
As an organization with a duty of care, you need to prepare for any eventuality so your company doesn’t suffer significant losses due to delays. More importantly, there must be plans to ensure your employees’ safety and well-being.
Working with a travel risk management company will allow you to prepare for unexpected challenges and ensure that your business and employees are protected.

Why You Need Travel Risk Management
As the world went through the COVID-19 pandemic, travel behaviors and policies changed to make way for a “new normal” and ever-changing circumstances. As a result, the last two years were a lesson in risk management as many travelers found themselves restricted from leaving the city or country with their flights canceled, while navigating healthcare services in an unfamiliar place.
Although the worst of the crisis has passed and many countries are adapting to the change, the lesson was that a lot can change overnight and travelers could be trapped over international borders. The world may have learned to adjust, but other unprecedented events can still happen without warning. Therefore, agile planning is now more important than ever.
Fulfilling a Duty of Care
So many things can go wrong when people travel:
They can miss a flight.
The airline can lose their luggage.
There can be oversight or mistakes in hotel bookings.
They can lose their passport or other essential documents for travel and business.
They can get into an accident.
They can fall ill and require emergency medical attention.
They can get stranded because of a natural calamity, political unrest, health crisis, etc.
While business travelers are expected to make wise judgments in such situations, companies also have the moral responsibility to extend help as much as possible.

Travel Risk FAQ
-
Duty of care is both due diligence and legal obligation of an organization to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of individuals – namely, its executives, representatives, and employees – as they travel for work. Therefore, we can summarize its process as researching, documenting, warning, and training employees to navigate potential travel risks.
Any organization with high regard for ethics and respect for the legal rights of its employees would take its duty of care for business trips seriously. It is implicit and expected for a company to provide the needs of every employee who must travel to fulfill work duties, especially if said duties bring considerable benefits to the company.
-
Conducting a risk assessment for each business trip (i.e., checking your government’s travel advisory for a foreign country).
Conduct training or briefings about the cultural practices and laws employees must follow abroad.
Educate the travelers about the latest travel requirements and local health rules where they’re headed.
Monitor existing risks and be ready to adjust itineraries if they escalate.
Have a contingency plan in case “acts of God” events like natural disasters happen while the employees travel or after they arrive.
Acknowledging these responsibilities is the start; creating a risk management plan with an expert travel risk management company fulfills these obligations.
