In an Unstable World, Employee Protection Is No Longer Optional: Protecting Employees on International Assignments

Your employee is on an assignment abroad. Then a political or security crisis escalates or a medical emergency hits at 11pm or a natural disaster disrupts local infrastructure or the airport closes overnight.

Who do they call? Who coordinates the response? And does your current insurance setup really cover all of this?

Most HR and Global Mobility teams assume their employees are protected. The reality is more sensitive: Travel Insurance stops covering after a few weeks. International Health Insurance may exclude conflict zones. And Assistance Programs - the layer that actually coordinates evacuations, medical repatriation, and 24/7 emergency response - may often be overlooked or not included in company policies at all.

In this exclusive webinar, Vanessa Lopez (Senior Global Mobility Compliance Expert, WorkFlex) and Max Goulnik(SOS Lead, WorkFlex) highlight common shortcomings and easily overlooked gaps in company setups and what good employee protection actually looks like in practice.

You'll learn:

• what the real difference is between Travel Insurance, International Health Insurance, and Assistance Programs - and why most companies only have the first one
• when your insurer steps back in a crisis - and what that means for your duty of care obligations
• what needs to be contractually regulated before an assignment starts: early termination, employee rights, and who bears the costs, among other key considerations
• real situations from the field - from Ukraine evacuations to emergency surgeries abroad - and the practical lessons companies can draw from them
• how to build employee protection that works regardless of what happens, and where WorkFlex SOS fits in

This webinar is designed for HR, Global Mobility, and Compliance professionals who send employees abroad and want to make sure they are genuinely protected when it matters - not just on paper.
