People: Travel & Safety...

Travel risk to corporate executives is on the rise. Even if you are not an executive who can afford the services of personal body guards and armored cars, there are some prudent ways to mitigate the risk of traveling to the global hot spots.

Travel safety is becoming more of a main stream issue with savvy operational risk managers. In fact, the likes of some new firms are emerging by former FBI or other law enforcement heavy weights. The fact is, most of these so called travel safety courses are being taught from only one side of the equation.

Today, CSOs are often tasked with building their company's corporate travel safety programs. The job calls for a proactive approach to educate employees about precautions they can take to stay safe, whether they're the CEOs of multibillion-dollar conglomerates who fly on company jets that land on secured tarmacs or rank-and-file staff riding in commercial airline coach.
