Hong Kong: Duty of Care Expert Forum on Managing the Risks of a Global Workforce
As companies look to Asia as a recovery driver, they are relocating executives to the region in greater numbers. Away from familiar working environments, newly relocated staff, their families and business travelers may encounter increased and unfamiliar threats to their health and personal security. Risks include unfamiliar or inadequate healthcare systems, infectious diseases such as the H1N1 pandemic, natural disasters, crime and outbreaks of civil unrest. All these serve to increase the liability of employers, who have a legal, fiduciary, and moral Duty of Care for their employees, wherever they are based.

Organized by International SOS and CIGNA International Expatriate Benefits, the seminar will help participants to:
  • Understand Duty of Care as it applies to employees on cross-border assignments
  • Understand what an organization should do to meet both locally and globally their legal, fiduciary, and moral Duty of Care responsibilities
  • Learn how a robust international healthcare plan (legally compliant, benefit rich with global service capabilities) forms an integral part of an overall Duty of Care strategy
  • Understand how an organization's internal stakeholders can collaborate to build an effective integrated risk management program with existing resources
  • Learn best practices from leaders of multinational corporations, and from around the world.
  • Receive a complimentary copy of International SOS' new white paper, "Duty of Care of Employers for Protecting International Assignees, their Dependents, and International Business Travelers"

Who Should Attend? 
Senior managers of MNCs with an interest in Duty of Care and the authority to champion positive change.
