Evolution of Duty of Care: Strategies for Relocation
Duty of care, historically defined as an organisations responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees, has evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic. Duty of care is moving beyond compliance and safety to also include contingency planning and support for globally mobile employees when a traditional path will not suffice.
With an ever-increasing list of socio-political disrupters, such as tax and immigration changes, civil or social unrest, natural disasters, supply chain issues and health crises, to name a few, having viable contingency strategies in place are more critical than ever to mobilising key talent around the world.
