Individual Profile Risk
In this episode, Risk Committee members are discussing the importance of individual profile risk for business travelers. They are focusing on how a specific traveler's unique set of factors and characteristics can impact their safety and well-being during a trip, which is referred to as individual profile risk in travel risk management. These factors encompass personal health considerations, cultural awareness, travel experience, and behavior. Our experts will explore methods for obtaining relevant information and customizing it to each individual's profile while considering privacy policies. They will also address how this approach should be applied to blended travel. Brought to you by the Risk Committee.
