International SOS | 08-02-2010

International work and travel are integral to daily operations at multinational companies. Away from familiar surroundings, employees may encounter precarious environments, presenting increased and unfamiliar threats to their health, safety, and security. Traveling and working abroad heightens the corporate liability of employers, who have a legal, fiduciary, and moral Duty of Care for their employees.
