Identify and Minimise Risks for Employees
With the COVID-19 pandemic, expectations of travel and mobility management have further increased, and the variety of tasks keeps growing. Business travellers and assignees expect coordinated, smooth processes and offers that meet their needs. And they want to be safe during their business trip or their assignment.
Complicating matters for managers is the increasing flood of information, as well as travel complexity due to global health or security incidents like the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest. Compliance with Duty of Care obligations plays a greater role today than ever before.
We help organisations and their people reduce exposure to, and mitigate risks while travelling or working abroad.

Our Solutions
When people are faced with new health and security risks – especially in a new environment or at risk of crime, illness or conflict – their employers, sponsors, schools, family and friends like to know they have easy access to the best advice and care. That is why our Workforce Resilience service supports your people every step of the way. We help them prepare for layered threat environments, monitor their location, warn them of emerging risks and provide professional health and security expertise. Before any change of working circumstances, your people can consult – online or via our App – our location guides for detailed health and safety tips, maps and cultural information. This can also be received directly via email.Layered Threat Environment
Our monitoring tools identify and locate your people who are in the vicinity of any significant incidents or threats. We also inform you by email of any emerging health or security risks that might affect your people. Most important of all, we provide your people with 24/7 access to world-class health and security services via our global network of Assistance Centres and networks on the ground. One call puts them in touch with doctors, nurses, logistics coordinators and security teams.Partnering With Your Ecosystem of Providers
We support travel and mobility managers with an unparalleled breadth of solutions for your business. We also understand that we are not alone. You are likely to have insurance policies in place to take care of your employees, travel management companies who book trips, as well as advise from tax advisors and brokers. To make your life easier, we hold direct relationships with a wide range of your service providers, and integrate with them too. Meaning that you can simplify processes and be more efficient in your role, all while taking care of what matters most: your employees.Find out more

How We Support our Clients
Helping an Organisation to Conduct Business-Critical Travel During COVID-19
|Dresden, GermanyCOVID-19IntelligenceIt was hugely rewarding to work with International SOS, as we could get information so much earlier than if we had to find and develop it ourselves. As we are just a team of two managing risk and security, having International SOS there as trusted partner was a real game-changer.
FINASTRA CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Partnering with International SOS means we have travellers who are willing to go into territories that are quite risky, to either sell our software or perform services for our clients. And doing so, helps us grow but it also gives the travellers no concerns or worries while they’re doing it.
