WHY DOES MY COMPANY NEED GROUP TRAVEL BUSINESS INSURANCE?
Employers have a duty of care to ensure the health, safety and well-being of their employees in the workplace during business travel. This professional relationship automatically imposes a duty of care on the employer toward their employees. This also extends to situations where the employee is required to travel for work or is seconded overseas. Any breaches could result in civil claims and/or criminal liability.
Group travel business insurance can protect your business interests in the event of an emergency. It also demonstrates good duty of care towards your travelling employees. If travelling is part of your employees’ job scope, it might be worth talking to us to see how a group travel insurance plan can keep your business and employees covered.
