If I email Margo for help, I know she will respond to me and its always incredible how quickly she does. I feel like I do the same for her, since if I see her name pop up I know she has a question for me and I answer right away. We make a great team and its hard to imagine not working with her.” ~Christine Cameron, Matrix

Duty of Care

Duty of Care is “a moral and/or legal obligation to ensure the safety or well-being of others.” Organizations who require their employees travel for work find managed travel can support their internal risk management initiatives and programs to fulfill this obligation. Custom Travel Solutions works hand in hand with organizations in a variety of ways. Running a “Where Are My Travellers” report can capture the details of any travellers who are currently on the road in specific regions based on the travel booked with our agency.

We can also integrate with third party Duty of Care or Risk Management providers to feed data directly from our booking system to theirs, granting access to live traveller data. These third party providers offer a variety of services including pre-trip information, medical support, evacuation, emergency document support, security, and disaster recovery around the globe and around the clock. Whether an organization chooses to implement an internal response system or partner with a third party, we can support the data requirements for bookings made through our services. In addition to supporting these risk management programs, Custom Travel Solutions can provide daily travel alerts to Travel Managers, ensuring they have access to new, critical and developing situations around the globe.
