Return on Prevention

Recent research published by Prevent and commissioned by the International SOS Foundation, investigates the latest thinking on the risks associated with international assignments and the cost of failure.

The research shows how those organisations who take measures to mitigate the health and travel security risks associated with business travel and international assignment are not only meeting their moral and legal obligations; they are also making a wise commercial investment.

A research trinity

This study, alongside the Foundation’s 2011 benchmarking study and the 2013 Global Framework, complete a powerful trinity in Duty of Care research. Furthermore, these show how organisations who invest in the prevention of health risks commonly experience both direct and indirect cost-benefits. Making prevention programmes an essential management practice for a sound business.
