Apr 16, 2015

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Multinational business travel is an important part of a growing global economy, but the potential for peril is immense — from becoming seriously ill far from home, to being stranded following a natural disaster. Recognizing that existing dangers only increase when travelers are unaware and unprepared, ACE Group today released a tip sheet that identifies several travel scenarios and the proactive steps organizations can take to help mitigate the associated risks.

Developed by ACE’s Accident and Health division, Safety Tips for Business Traveloffers concise recommendations for safeguarding your employees and your organization in a variety of travel situations, including:

  • Protecting employees and limiting business interruption in the event of a natural disaster
  • Ensuring all employees receive the same protection worldwide, regardless of their home country
  • Protecting employees while traveling on the road and in the air
  • Ensuring the safety of employees and their belongings in a hotel

“ACE has helped hundreds of organizations protect employees who are traveling abroad. We understand the risks of business travel, from everyday hazards to worst case scenarios, and realize it can be as stressful as it is necessary,” said Joseph Weiss, Vice President, ACE Accident & Health. “I’m excited that we can offer these valuable tips to help organizations identify and mitigate potential risks before they happen.
