Business travel-related risk management is making it to the top of the agenda at the corporate level. Most security and travel managers are aware of these recent developments but unsure how to initiate a successful travel risk management program that does not inhibit corporate mobility.
“C’est la vie?: A step-by-step guide to building a travel risk management programme”, the recently-released white paper from Advito, BCD Travel’s independent consulting unit, explains why companies should adopt a systematic, strategic approach to travel risk management. The white paper is available for download from www.advito.com. It features best practice profiles from Hewitt Associates, ING, PriceWaterhouseCoopers UK, DuPont and The Capital Group of Companies.
“Business travel is inherently risky, because it puts employees in unfamiliar environments,” said Torsten Kriedt, Vice President of Innovation & Intelligence for Advito. “However, diligent and systematic risk management acts as a travel enabler, not a travel inhibitor. Business travel is possible to almost any destination in the world, as long as steps are taken to mitigate the risks.”
“In today’s uncertain times, it is crucial to tackle this important topic,” adds Mary Ellen George, general manager for Advito. “As the white paper shows, success requires cooperation across departments and effective communication processes. With the process and resources described in the white paper, travel managers and security managers now have a tool that allows them to address the ‘care’ dimension of responsible travel management.”
