An enhanced version of an app for business travellers provides travel information and safety alerts around the world, helping employers meet their duty of care to employees, according to its provider, Chubb. The new version of Chubb Travel Smart has been rewritten ‘from the ground-up’, providing a range of new features and services, including the ability to identify and communicate potential threats based on the traveller’s location or planned destination.
The app aggregates and filters information from thousands of different sources globally, including news media, government bodies, security and health databases and social media. It also provides country-specific and pre-travel information, and a link to an online dashboard enabling HR professionals to quickly identify risks.
