CORPORATES

Starting work in one time zone and ending it another, perhaps thousands of miles away, is par for the course for today's corporate traveller.

Companies typically pay significant premiums for their employees' travel insurance, and far higher costs for flights, hotel accommodation, meals and phone calls home or back to the office.

But all too frequently, staff travel the globe -- often into potentially hostile situations -- with no prior safety briefing, no risk or threat assessment, and no support mechanism in case the employee gets into trouble and needs assistance. Often events happen overseas and it is only the absence of calls or messages -- sometimes after several days -- that the employee is missed and some form of action taken.

Employers have a moral and ethical duty to look after their staff effectively -- and with the new corporate manslaughter rules, a legal obligation as well.
