13:30	Duty of care roundtable: traveller profiles and programs are changing As international business becomes the new norm, companies are utilising a variety of employees to represent them overseas. This increase in representation pushes the boundaries of traditional white-collar, male managers as the sole travellers. With that in mind, today’s mobile workforce reflects the diversity that exists within our society. Growing numbers of travelling women, older workers, gay/lesbian or transgender, and individuals with disabilities means that companies need to adapt and update their travel safety policies. Adding to the complexity of individual traveller profile is use of newer accommodation and ride sharing providers like Uber and Airbnb. We also examine the lines that are blurred between business and leisure travel or “Bleisure” travel as it is now known. Join Security Manager, Sam Davies as he leads round table discussions to examine a number of scenarios and the duty of care measures companies need to consider in their traveller programs.
