What is Comprehensive Travel Risk Management (TRM)?
Comprehensive Travel Risk Management (TRM) is a continuous process. To maximize return on travel investment and encourage the accomplishment of organizational goals, there must be cohesive policies and procedures, focused involvement by key stakeholders, and a pre-determined process to manage and recover from incidents or disruptions that arise. The contents on this page outline the makings of a Standards-based TRM model you can utilize to build your program!

Below are four videos from a larger presentation by VP of Security Solutions Jake Newton. Below are four video segments from a presentation provided by Jake Newton, VP of Security Solutions, that detail each function of the TRM process.
Preparation
A combination of activities that formulate the infrastructure of a TRM program. Development of policies and procedures, training involved personnel, and incorporating any needed equipment and technologies.
Execution
Managing and resolving incidents when they occur--beginning with the initial identification or report of an incident to the recovery of the traveler back on their trip or home.
Planning
Identification, analysis, evaluation, and mitigation for travel risks generally, as well as trip specific. Planning must address each component of the graphic by all stakeholders involved in the program.
Adaptation
Identifying areas of improvement, lessons learned, or regulatory changes and incorporating them into the holistic program.
