They believe in making it easier for organisations to work and grow on an international scale. They can help you achieve your goals by preparing your employees for travel and supporting them whilst they are in unfamiliar and remote locations. They help to keep them healthy and safe, so you can focus on your core business activities.
In Ipsos MORI's Business Resilience Trends Watch, 63% of organisations cited 'educating employees about travel risks' as their biggest challenge in ensuring the health and security of a mobile workforce. While employees’ demands and expectations are constantly evolving, the study also shows that travel policies are not keeping up with the changing needs of a modern workforce: Only a third (33%) of organisations cover cyber security in their travel policy. And just over a quarter (26%) cover considerations for female travellers.
Protecting your people is their priority
In order to operate and grow your business, your employees must travel and work internationally. This means they are often faced with environments that they are unfamiliar with. This level of uncertainty puts them at risk. Even a minor health or security issue, if unchecked, can quickly escalate into a more serious problem. Furthermore, your ability to respond to these risks, can ultimately impact your workforces’ happiness and morale.
They are here to help you mitigate those risks and their associated costs. No matter how small a medical or security issue is; their experts are qualified to help.
Prevention first
The best way to ensure that your employees stay healthy and safe is to establish robust preventive programmes, catered specifically for the environments they are in. In the instance that prevention is not possible, immediate and effective assistance is fundamental. They provide you and your workforce with access to a first class assistance service, available 24/7 (ISO9001:2008 accredited) – the necessary reassurance and direction to keep your employees healthy, safe and productive.
Advice from their medically qualified and security experts is immediate and unlimited – they encourage your employees to always call them first, no matter how minor the issue may seem.
Embracing the unfamiliar
The world is a wildly varied and fast-changing place. When it comes to health and security, every location is different. The same applies to organisations; every set of needs are different. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to employee healthcare or security.
Therefore, their approach is consultative. They can help you assess the risks associated with every working environment and design appropriate preventive programmes – including training, procedures and policies – to protect you and your people at all times.
