Managing the Risks of a Global Workforce
Organizations which truly embrace globalization accept and promote frequent mobility among their key employees, whether through international assignments or business travel. Business travel is increasing in range and frequency, as multinational companies seek out markets that are not so close to home - more and more are now going to far-flung places. Even in tough economic times, organizations forge ahead with essential travel and assignments. This inevitably brings on more risk to an organization's most valuable asset - its employees. Why is it so risky and are organizations fully aware of how these risks can affect their Duty of Care?
