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.

Commisioning a Duty of Care white paper
In response to our clients' requests, International SOS commissioned Lisbeth Claus, Ph.D., SPHR, GPHR, professor of Global HR at the Atkinson Graduate School of Management of Willamette University to research, analyze and provide solutions on Duty of Care.

Download the Executive Summary of the "Duty of Care of Employers for Protecting International Assignees, their Dependents and International Business Travelers," to read a 4-page overview on this topic.

An integrated, cost effective approach
At first, Duty of Care may seem daunting, but it does not have to be. The white paper reviews an employer's Duty of Care responsibilities for their employees (and dependents) who cross borders as part of their work duties. The overall goal of this paper is to inform decision-makers about their responsibilities and offer innovative solutions to help plan, organize and develop an appropriate integrated, risk management strategy.
