In search of these answers, International SOS has partnered with market leading research firm Ipsos and global mobility specialists KPMG to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the cost-effectiveness of preventive measures for business travellers and international assignees.
"We are clearly living in an era of increased global connectivity, with more and more companies deploying teams to various parts of the world. Yet as the global village is getting smaller, the risks are getting bigger.
Regional conflicts that become regional wars, political unrest that becomes violent, natural disasters, and a myriad of health risks can all compromise the success of a foreign assignment. Clearly, the safety and well-being of international business travellers and assignees has never been more critical.
In the quest for success on foreign soil, a comprehensive travel health prevention strategy emerges as a beacon of hope, promising to mitigate the inherent risks that come with international assignments. The burning questions on the minds of businesses are clear: Is investing in such preventive measures a valuable return on investment, and to what extent can they safeguard their personnel abroad?"
