introduction
In this section, we consider travel as one of the many means of communicating with people. We outline the main aspects that should be considered when planning a business trip — whether it is a 30-minute journey by car to the local bank, or an extended stay in a remote part of the world.
You are responsible for the safety of your employees when they are travelling on company business, (which generally does not include travel to and from their normal place of work).
Arguably, the first question about travelling on company business should be ‘Do I need to make this journey?’ instead of ‘What is the best way to get there?’ Not least for environmental reasons.
