Duty of Care as a Strategic Imperative: Aligning Travel Managers and Employees

ALTOUR Episode 2

In this episode, our AI-generated hosts dive into the critical topic of Duty of Care in business travel—drawing on expert insights from Dr. John Rose, Chief Risk & Security Officer at ALTOUR.

Framed around the idea that Duty of Care is no longer just a legal or ethical obligation, but a strategic imperative, the hosts explore how organizations can better align the responsibilities of travel managers and employees to mitigate risk. Using real-world examples—including corporate liability cases and recent travel disruptions—they unpack the real consequences of inadequate travel risk planning.

The discussion highlights key pillars of a modern Duty of Care program, including:

  • Setting clear traveler expectations
  • Implementing pre-trip risk assessments
  • Providing 24/7 support and communication
  • Leveraging AI-powered tools like ALTOUR’s AI Shield for real-time alerts and incident response
