Group Business Travel Insurance
Why does my company need group business travel insurance?
Duty of Care is a legal obligation of employers to ensure the health, safety and well-being of their employees in the workplace and while traveling for business. The employment relationship automatically imposes a duty of care on the employer towards its employees. This duty extends to a reasonable duty of case owed when the employee carries out their work or performs functions in relation to work obligations. This duty can extend to situations where the employee is required to travel on work or is seconded overseas. Any breaches could result in civil claims and/or criminal liability.
Group travel insurance can protect your business interests in the event of an emergency and demonstrates good duty of care towards your travelling employees. If your team travel as part of their job, then it would be worth talking to us about getting group travel insurance to ensure your business and your employees are properly covered.
