Travel duty of care spotlight: Identifying traveller whereabouts in a crisis
When travel plans go smoothly, it's easy to forget just how complicated things can get when the unexpected occurs. In today's unpredictable international landscape, travellers face a variety of risks, ranging from cybercrime to natural disasters, and everything that falls in between. Canadian employers have the legal and moral responsibility to ensure the safety of their employees, even if they're halfway around the world.
As a travel program stakeholder, it’s important to ask: is your travel program equipped to locate and extract travellers from dangerous situations on a global scale? Duty of care responsibilities create the need for systems and tools that give you the ability to pinpoint employee locations in the event of a natural disaster, terrorist attack, infectious disease outbreak or any other unexpected event.
Your organization requires an established plan to provide duty of care to all travellers. Your strategy should incorporate logical policy supported by optimized technology.
