When it comes to business travel, getting from A to B is only part of the picture. Making sure your people are safe, supported, and informed every step of the way? That’s where duty of care takes the lead.
In today’s world of travel disruption, changing regulations, and growing employee expectations, organisations have a legal and moral obligation to protect their travellers. And that means putting duty of care at the core of your travel programme.
What is duty of care in business travel?
Duty of care refers to the responsibility companies have to protect their employees from risk when travelling for work. This includes everything from knowing where travellers are at any given time, to providing access to emergency assistance, real-time travel updates and pre-trip risk assessments.
Why does it matter?
1. Protect your people
Your employees are your most valuable asset. A strong traveller safety policy helps ensure they’re never left in the dark - whether it’s a train cancellation, political unrest or a medical emergency.
2. Meet legal obligations
Failing to deliver on duty of care compliance can lead to serious reputational and legal consequences. A clear, proactive approach to travel risk management shows your business takes its responsibilities seriously.
3. Boost traveller confidence
When travellers know they’re supported, they travel with confidence. That means better focus, productivity and wellbeing on the road - and happier employees overall.
