Security training for business travellers

What can increase security during secondments?

Security abroad | RiskWorkers’ Security Advice Service Business travellers can best boost their security if employees recognise risk situations swiftly, and thereby avoid them. If it is impossible to avoid the situation, it is necessary to act prudently and keep a cool head. In order for employees to be able to do this, they must already have thought through appropriate situations and experienced them in planning exercises.

To summarise: an employee who has learnt how to behave correctly as part of travel security training will claw back valuable time in actual risk situations, with this time otherwise having been lost during the search for potential ways forward. The employee will be able to defuse situations in a targeted, efficient way, thereby protecting life, limb and property. An employee trained in this way can perform their daily work with self-confidence and optimism.
