Optimising Travel Risk Management Programmes

Whether you’re looking to enhance an existing Travel Risk Management programme or establish one from scratch, we provide tailored solutions to meet your needs:

  • Programme Review. We evaluate your current program, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement, with a focus on streamlining processes and reducing costs.
  • New Programme Development. For organisations without a formal programme, we design comprehensive solutions aligned with ISO 31030:2021 Travel Risk Management standards and international best practices.

Journey Management Planning

If your employees travel to emerging markets or remote areas, we help you assess risks and create detailed journey management plans. These plans cover:

  • Arrival protocols
  • Ground transportation
  • Accommodations
  • Communications
  • Medical support
  • Contingency planning

Our meticulous approach ensures potential risks are anticipated and mitigated, safeguarding your employees throughout their travel.

Contingency Planning

For organisations with personnel, facilities, or operations in high-risk areas, we deliver robust contingency plans that prepare for severe natural disasters, armed conflict, and other significant risks. Our plans include:

  • Shelter-in-place, relocation, and evacuation plans
  • Identification of critical local resources, including medical, security, aviation, and transport providers

Designed to 'fail gracefully,'' our contingency plans provide multiple fallback options to ensure continuity, with clear guidance for deciding when and how to implement each option.

Contact us now to discuss how we can assist you to develop a robust travel risk management programme in your organisation.
