Health & Security Risk outlook + Key trends
We will be presenting our award-winning Travel Risk Map 2019, the status of the global health and security situation and emerging trends.
Speakers: Dr. Anthony Renshaw and Gautier Porot, International SOS
Why do Smart Travellers do dumb things?
Cognitive bias affects everyone, and should be considered in every organisation’s travel risk mitigation plan. But, what is the line between the organisation duty of care and employees duty of loyalty? We will explore the causes, potential solutions and concrete examples to improve your travel management programme.
Speakers: Dr. Anthony Renshaw and Gautier Porot, International SOS
Is it a Risk to be compliant?
Most companies that intend to comply still have compliance risks, due to the possibility of system failures, misinterpretation or wrongdoings. Increased expectations from stakeholders pushes companies worldwide to obey regulations, while trying to protect their market value. In the end, what choices are they facing when it comes to being compliant?
Speakers: Stéphane Martin, Risk-!n
Break
Breakout sessions
A) Workplace Wellness - does it really work?
Wellness is not only yoga and yoghurt anymore. More studies show the increase of non-communicable disease (NCD) and their direct cost for organisations. More companies are therefore investing in wellness programmes. Find out about different benefits of these programmes and how to measure return.
Speakers: Dr. Anthony Renshaw, International SOS
B) Top 5 fails from last year: Natural disasters
Natural disasters have increased in frequency and impact in 2018, and this is likely to continue. The immediate after-effects can have serious implications for business operations. How can you make informed decisions and maintain communication with affected staff?
Speakers: Herlé-Xavier Carn/Charline Gelin, International SOS
Lunch
When security experts help business travellers mitigate risks
Security experts are essential stakeholders for the change of organisational culture. The focus of this discussion will be on how to drive behavioural changes.
Speakers: Aurore Chatard/Stéphane Vuille, ASIS International
Breakout sessions
A) Sustainable Development Goals, Good Health & Well-being: Why, What, How, Wow!
Businesses are increasingly committed to helping the world achieve its sustainable development goals. We offer examples of leading practices and provide a practical set of tools to bring health and well-being into the forefront of their company’s strategic agenda.
Speakers: Dr. Anthony Renshaw, International SOS
B) Ensuring health and safety during corporate events.
So many companies invest significant resources in getting an amazing venue, doing video production, hiring celebrity speakers, but the one thing which is often overlooked is safety. Event management is not just about putting together a great conference. It is about managing and mitigating risk around it.
Speakers: Herlé-Xavier Carn/Charline Gelin, International SOS
Break
Why are mobile employee risks at the forefront of your CEO’s mind?
What if one of your senior employees calls to tell you that she’s stuck at an airport overseas, denied entry by the immigration counter? It turns out that the authorities want written confirmation that she still pays social security in her home country. Imagine if the press find out… This session provides a snapshot of some of the compliance risks you need to be aware of in respect of mobile employees and why these risks worry your CEO.
Speakers: Drew Lowthian/Michelle Berners-Price, KPMG
