POST COVID-19 CORPORATE TRAVEL POLICIES
du·ty of care (/ˈd(y)o͞odē/ /əv/ /ker/)An obligation imposed on a company that requires adherence to a standard of reasonable care while asking employees to perform an act that could foreseeably cause harm to them or others, including business-related travel
Questions to Consider:
Are we meeting our Duty of Care obligation?
Is it safe to travel?
Who is allowed to travel, and for what reasons?
What are the types of “permissible travel”?
• Insuring flight costs
• Insuring hotel costs
• Coverage in the case of a pandemic?
