Many organisations operating internationally have resumed business travel and at the same time are trying to understand how to do it safely.
Be it a pandemic, civil unrest, natural disasters or medical emergencies and crime, corporate travel is not without risk.
The perception of travel related risk has indeed evolved. As a result, the requirements to uphold the Duty of Care to protect and improve your employees’ health and safety must not be overlooked.
As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure your workforce is protected when travelling for business.
The new ISO 31030 Travel Risk Management standard - published in September 2021 - provides essential guidance to protect your mobile workforce.
Benchmarking your travel risk management programme to ISO 31030
To evaluate your travel risk approach, our security and health experts have created a five-minute assessment which provides a customised report that you can take directly to your management.
What is ISO 31030?
ISO 31030 Travel Risk Management - Guidance for organisations provides a structured approach to the development, implementation, evaluation and review of a policy, including programme development, threat identification, opportunities and strengths, risk assessment, prevention and mitigation strategies.
ISO 31030 is targeted to all organisations who send their employees away (domestically or internationally) and it is a flexible framework that your travel risk managers or those responsible for the health, safety and security of your employees, apply based on the context of organisational needs.
In an ever-changing environment and with increased risks associated with business travel, its implementation has become crucial.
What are the benefits of ISO 31030?
By promoting a culture where travel-related risk is seen as a priority to be prevented and mitigated, this standard - when combined with adequate resources and effectively managed - aims to achieve recognised and concrete benefits such as:
- Improved business continuity, reputation, efficiency and productivity because the processes are embedded into your businesses;
- Increased employees' confidence in health, safety and security regulations related to travel;
- Activities also permitted at high-risk locations;
- Promoting a culture of trust throughout the business hierarchy;
- Reduced legal and financial risks;
- Empowering you to adopt good travel practices across your organisation.
