Managing the Risks of a Global Workforce: Interactive Webinar on Duty of Care

WHY:

As workforces become increasingly global and mobile, companies' level of risk rises with each additional business traveler and expatriate. For many organizations, fulfilling their duty to care for employees – no matter where their jobs take them – can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. By focusing on collaborative solutions, companies can build integrated risk management programs that effectively protect their most important assets – their employees – and manage business, financial and reputational risks.

WHO:

Dr. Lisbeth Claus, a global HR expert and the author of a recent white paper on duty of care, will lead participants in an interactive workshop exploring best practice solutions for managing the risks of an international workforce.

The complimentary webinar is hosted by International SOS, the world's leading provider of integrated medical, international healthcare and security assistance services. Suzanne Garber, Chief Operating Officer, Americas, International SOS will moderate the webinar and offer insight as well.

WHAT:

Dr. Claus will lead participants through a workshop designed to help them:

• Understand the issues and myths surrounding Duty of Care within a global arena and the various legal trends

• Realize how internal stakeholders can come together to build an effective program with existing resources

• Apply practical solutions to mitigate existing risks and identify gaps within their organization's preparedness

• Effectively prepare and manage globally mobile employees

The topics to be discussed impact those interested in human resources, security, risk and safety, corporate law, medical and occupational health, compensation and benefits and global mobility.
