"There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long ran risks of comfortable inaction." - John F. Kennedy

Risks are apart of our every day life, just as much as choices. We make choices based on the data we have, we make decisions around risk, with the same process; review and analyse the data and come to a decision, a choice. Risk management and duty of care are high on your company’s list of concerns, and knowing that you have done everything possible before your staff travels are just as important as what happens while they travel.

The Country Risk module leverages data directly from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs & Trading (DFAT) and displays a risk rating notification for each country the traveller is visiting. Company Administrators can also configure an alternative risk rating source by creating a Country Risk list.

Note

If a workflow is configured with the Country Risk List option, a disclaimer will appear for all users reviewing the trip request.
