Are Companies Doing What They Can to Safeguard Female Travelers?

A SAP Concur blog post discusses safety threats faced by female business travelers, including assault, theft, and sexual harassment. Citing research from AIG Travel and GBTA, only 44% of travel managers said their companies book women into rooms with additional safety features like double locks and 24-hour security, and three out of five said they 'rarely' or 'never' offer chauffeured transportation at destinations. The article recommends companies strengthen duty of care through pre-trip preparation, destination safety information, emergency travel service resources, and behavioral safety tips.
