Many organizations wrestle with the concept of business travel in combination with leisure travel (aka.“Bleisure”). From a Travel Risk Management (TRM) perspective, there are three initial considerations to keep in mind that may help address the issue and lessen how abstract it might feel to manage.

A Travel Risk Management (TRM) policy is centric to business travel. It outlines the high-level safety and security aims for travel and overarching guidance regarding how that is to occur. It’s not uncommon for this policy to be embedded within a Travel and Expense policy, though best practice is to have it standalone. Furthermore, if there are other Risk Management policies for the organization, this one should be consistent. To that end, organizations should look at the safety and security of individuals regardless of where they’re working and have policies like this all consistent with that objective.

NOW MORE THAN EVER, AS ORGANIZATIONS ARE OPENING THEIR TRAVEL PROGRAM BACK UP, IT’S TIME TO FOCUS ON PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS MOST.
