Business travellers can face a variety of risks, from accidents and fraud to kidnappings and terrorist attacks. These types of risks identify the importance of risk management, preparing for business travel and the security measures that companies and business travellers should take to help keep their employees safe.
The ISO 31030 Travel Risk Management (TRM) Standard is a best practice framework that helps organisations evaluate and manage their work-related travel risks effectively. It covers policy development, programme implementation, threat identification, risk monitoring and prevention strategies.
We’re pleased to announce that we can now offer a free Travel Risk Management Maturity Model Self-Assessment, powered by our Specialist Partner, GSA Global. Once completed the report provides an overall summary of how the organisation is performing against the ISO Standard. Investing the time to check that travel management policies and procedures meet the best practice criteria in the ISO31030 framework can help you create solutions before a problem occurs.
Luke Powis, Head of Crisis Management at Aviva, said: “Investing the time to ensure that travel management policies and procedures meet best practice criteria can help create solutions before problems occur. Business travellers can face a range of risks and it’s essential that companies think ahead to ensure staff are protected as much as possible. We’re pleased to offer this, and our well-being benefits, to new and existing customers at no additional charge – another way Aviva is going above and beyond to support customers and brokers.”
