Keeping your business travellers safe isn’t just a responsibility – it’s a necessity. Now more than ever, travellers are facing unexpected disruptions to their trips, while businesses are left reeling with the additional costs. The stakes are higher than ever.

Whether you’re a decision-maker or a travel manager, having the right measures in place can mean the difference between a seamless trip and a logistical nightmare. So, how do you keep your people safe while ensuring their travel experience is smooth and stress-free? Here are the five key things to focus on.

1. Stay ahead with duty of care

Imagine knowing exactly where your travellers are at any given moment – and having the tools to mitigate risks before they escalate. That’s what duty of care is all about. With Corporate Traveller, you get advanced tracking and reporting capabilities to monitor your team’s whereabouts and any potential risks in their travel locations.

But it doesn’t stop there. Through partnerships with trusted global providers, we offer a range of duty-of-care options, from basic location reporting to comprehensive risk management solutions in volatile regions. It’s about providing peace of mind, not just for your travellers, but for your entire organization.

2. Tried-and-tested options for peace of mind

When it comes to travel, not all options are created equal. Using unfamiliar or unverified services, like short-term rental platforms, can introduce unnecessary risks. That’s why we stick to trusted suppliers and our own digital travel platform, Melon, so we can make sure that our tools have been rigorously tested for reliability and safety.

For example, our global hotel program offers perks and savings at over 50,000 hotels worldwide, giving your travellers access to safe accommodation wherever they go. It’s a simple way to avoid risks while keeping your team comfortable and secure.

3. Proactive planning for disruptions

Let’s face it: travel disruptions are inevitable. Fires, winter storms, airline strikes – the list goes on. What sets great travel management apart is how you handle them. With Corporate Traveller, proactive planning is built into our approach.

>We identify risks before they become problems. Imagine if a major weather event or strike is announced – you’ll receive communications and solutions to limit the impact on your travellers. And when the unexpected happens, like a cancelled flight, our team is on it, reprotecting your travellers and ensuring minimal downtime – 24/7.

4. Around-the-clock support for the unexpected

When things go wrong mid-trip, having immediate access to support can make all the difference. That’s why we provide 24/7 assistance with no extra fees – yes, even after hours. From rebooking flights to securing last-minute accommodations, our expert agents are just a phone call or chat away.

The support you receive means you’ll avoid the long airport queues and frustrating hold times. Our team works behind the scenes to solve issues fast, so your travellers can keep moving. Whether it’s an itinerary change, a missed connection, or something more complex, we’ve got you covered.

5. Protecting your data at every step

Business travel safety isn’t just about physical security – it’s also about protecting sensitive information. We take data privacy seriously. From complying with global regulations to following strict corporate security standards, we ensure that your information is managed securely and disposed of when no longer needed.

This commitment to privacy isn’t just about checking boxes. It’s about earning your trust. Your company’s data – and your travellers’ – is in safe hands, giving you one less thing to worry about.

Why business travel safety matters

Your business travel is an engine for growth. But it also comes along with its fair share of challenges. By staying on top of duty of care, you’re making sure that your team can travel confidently. Ready to take the next step in safeguarding your team?
