• Alex Elson

         President, International SOS Canada

• David Hyde

WHAT:

What are the implications of legal changes and new risk landscapes for Canadian employers? What are the most common obstacles to effective travel risk management within organizations?

These questions and more will be answered in Duty of Care in Action: Canadian Law Redefining Global Business Travel, a complimentary webinar.

Natural disasters, social-economic uncertainty and political unrest are reshaping "Duty of Care" for Canadian employers and organizations. In addition, recent changes to occupational health and safety legislation and the expansion of criminal negligence laws make the protection of business travelers a legal and moral imperative in Canada. Mr. Elson and Mr. Hyde will explore today's business travel risk landscape and share best practices for meeting legal and moral imperatives for protecting traveling employees.

Attendees will receive CPP certification through ASIS International. Security professionals who attend will receive 1 credit hour toward CPP through ASIS International.
