Why Business Travel Safety Is Different for Women

A SAP Concur blog post cites a 2018 AIG Travel and GBTA survey finding that 71% of female business travelers believe they face greater risk than their male counterparts. 83% of surveyed women experienced a safety-related event within the past year, and 80% said those events impacted their work productivity. Fewer than 50% of women report personal safety incidents to their organizations. A GBTA Foundation survey found 43% of travel managers can locate all affected employees within two hours in an emergency, while 34% do not know how long it would take.
