Group Manager Risk (incl. Resilience, Insurance & Internal Audit) | PhD Candidate, Researcher and Scholar
#Businesstravel is a significant international business activity and economic market. Pre-pandemic, annual business travel spending was estimated to be worth $USD1.29 trillion (Statista, 2022a), with current estimates dropping as much as 60 per cent, to $USD504 billion (Statista, 2002b) as of 2022. However, 'business travel' is an extensive categorisation of business and human activity routinely composed of self-reported actions such as conferences, studies, sales, or meetings (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2022). Precisely what defines #travel or mobility in the name of business remains unclear, inconsistent, or highly variable in both practice and related literature. Nevertheless, within the Australian legal context, Comcare specifies that all businesses have the responsibility of an extended a '#dutyofcare' (Comcare, 2015), even when travelling abroad, which requires the same active, demonstrable management of health and safety and risk as more traditional physical workplaces. This research will focus on understanding and informing the business management of #safety and #risk for those travelling internationally for business. As both an active, experienced business traveller and manager of those that travel for business, I have routinely been surprised by the seeming lack of academic, positivist or verifiable practices associated with travel safety and risk management. This concern and void have motivated me to understand the subject, risks, and better practices.

1yThis is great and quite insightful Tony. Unfortunately many business travelers do enjoy the trips but hardly pay attention to their own safety and security during traveling. More often than not, most travelers do very little to pay attention to the briefings and duty of care guidelines issued by their security team. Ironically, such end up being the worst complainants and blamers of security in the event that they become victims of a particular risk in the course of their travels.
