iJET Enhances Worldcue® Expatriate Risk Management Solution
iJET Expands Risk Management Solution to Further Protect Employees on Long- Term International Work Assignments
ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 12 / -- iJET Intelligent Risk Systems, a leading provider of global intelligence, operating risk management technology and integrated emergency response services, today announced significant enhancements to its Worldcue Expatriate Risk Management solution. New technology and features improve the ability of organizations to find and communicate with their expatriates and families -- whether at their assigned work location or on travel.
Designed to address the unique risk management requirements of protecting employees and their families stationed abroad for long-term international work assignments, iJET's Expatriate Risk Management solution provides expatriates and their employers with updates on changing world events -- from terrorism and civil unrest to transportation disruptions and severe weather -- helping to mitigate threats and bolster expatriate safety and productivity. With this integrated system for accessing and evaluating information about expatriates around the world, security, HR, travel and risk management professionals have unprecedented visibility into their expatriate populations.
"In today's volatile world, the safety and security of expatriates is an ever-increasing concern," said Marty Pfinsgraff, COO for iJET Intelligent Risk Systems. "Ready access to information about expatriates is essential to help employers protect them from harm and to aid critical emergency response efforts."
For government defense contractors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other organizations whose employees or contractors are routinely sent to high-risk destinations, a global perspective on risks to their expatriates is critical to successful business continuity. When disaster strikes, it is essential for employers to have an immediate snapshot of their overall threat exposure and to quickly access information about expatriates and their families to facilitate effective communication, evacuation or recovery efforts.
Enhancements to Worldcue Expatriate Risk Management include:
o Enhanced tracking capabilities that enable employers to better protect
expatriates and their families during business or personal travel. In
addition to automated trip tracking, expatriates can now manually
register non-commercial flights such as flights on military aircraft or
private planes.
o Flexible reporting options accelerate relevant notifications and
communications by allowing employers to quickly access current and
historical expatriate assignment information.
o Expanded emergency profiles provide employers greater flexibility over
the information collected from expatriates and their families -- from
information about health conditions, pets and vehicles to images (such
as headshots), copies of passports or dental records. This ensures
immediate access to critical information required in the event of an
emergency.
o Enhanced personalization options to reinforce organizations' messages
in personalized communications to their expatriates.
iJET's Expatriate Risk Management solution is offered as a standalone product or as a module within its Worldcue® Global Control Center, an integrated intelligence and technology solution that relates global threats to an organization's people and assets worldwide. By integrating travelers, expatriates, facilities and supply-chain assets into a single risk management platform, companies can quickly understand and manage potential threats, assess total exposure and respond appropriately. Expatriate Risk Management may be enhanced with access to a dedicated 24x7 emergency hotline in the event that expatriates and families require special assistance.
"The primary focus of Expatriate Risk Management is to proactively help employees and employers avoid disruptive incidents," said Pfinsgraff. "Beyond the value that it provides in support of day-to-day operations, Expatriate Risk Management helps clients respond quickly to an emergency or disaster that proves unavoidable."
