Vismo and ISO 31030 – Travel risk management guidance for organisations

30 March 2022

Organizations have had no choice but to continually adapt to change over the last few years, especially when it comes to protecting their traveling employees. Pre Covid-19, organizations worried about outdated passports and weather delays. Nowadays it’s Covid passports, fewer airline staff, and potential quarantining. Yet despite continually adapting, how can organisations best serve and protect their employees in an increasingly unpredictable world?

What is ISO 31030?

Before ISO 31030’s inception, there were no universal guidelines for travel risk management. Organizations had to use their best judgment when implementing travel safety policy and procedures, creating gaps in wider efforts around people risk management.

ISO 31030 covers all aspects of corporate travel and is written so that it may be applied to a range of contexts and travel requirements. It provides guidance to those looking to create or improve their travel risk management strategy while ensuring the safety of any traveling employee.

Benefits of ISO 31030?

With borders reopening and more and more employees now traveling across the globe, organizations must provide a duty of care and consider the additional risks that come with employees being constantly on the move. By standardizing travel risk management, ISO 31030 helps create and promote a culture where travel-related risk is formally acknowledged while being adequately resourced and effectively managed. Incorporating ISO 31030 standards will benefit any organization by enhancing its reputation and credibility amongst its customer base – and also by improving worker confidence in travel-related health, safety, and security arrangements.
