WEBINAR | TRAVEL STRESS
Experienced travellers are no longer experienced travellers.
What can your organisation do to support your business travellers?
Wednesday 7 September 2022 15:00 BST
For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, business flight bookings have exceeded 2019 levels(1). Desire and demand for travel is strong, but the travel ecosystem is not quite back to pre-pandemic levels. How have your prepared your people for the current travel chaos and beyond?
We are seeing an increase in stress-related cases in our Assistance Centres. What can your organisation do to minimise the strain on your travellers?
More people than ever before are calling our medical teams for pre-trip briefings prior to travel(2). Are your experienced travellers still experienced travellers?
Join Carolyn Taylor, Head of Mental Health, Resilience and Wellbeing, and Lenka Formankova, Coordinating Nurse, London Assistance Centre, as they share:
- Trends from our Assistance Centres - what are the main types of health-related travel issues we are seeing from clients?
- Practical tips for organisations to consider when sending people abroad in the current travel environment
- Insights into how organisations can best support their travellers in managing stress while travelling or when based abroad.
We expect the webinar to last around 50 minutes, to include a Q&A. Should you be unavailable to attend at the scheduled time, please note that registrants will receive a link to the recording following the webinar.
