Protecting people from health & security threats
Safeguarding Your Business and Employees from Cyber Security Threats
ArticleIn today's interconnected world, cyber-attacks and breaches pose significant risks to business continuity, data integrity, and individual wellbeing. In GBTA’s January 2024 poll of travel professionals, 84% of buyers indicated that their travel spending in 2023 surged significantly (33%) compared with 2022. Our own data indicates a 35% increase in international travel in 2023. As more and more organisations return to ‘normal’ travel behaviours, it is crucial to consider the cyber vulnerabilities that emerge for your workforces while travelling or in remote locations.
65 Elections Globally in 2024: The Biggest Election Year in History
ArticleLast year, 47% of our global alerts shared with clients were connected to political violence and unrest. As we step into 2024, the world faces an unusually high number of elections. As we have seen in Senegal, Pakistan, Spain and Argentina , unrest and political violence can accompany these events, so what does this mean for the year ahead? Our expert, Gulnaz Ukassova shares the potential impact these elections may have on organisations and their people alongside advice for remaining prepared.
Burnout vs Technology: A Dual Role in the Workplace
ArticleBusinesses worldwide are faced with addressing the rising mental health and wellbeing concerns of employees, with the Risk Outlook report for 2024 stating that 80% of organisations say their employees are likely to be impacted by stress and burnout in the next 12 months. In 2023, International SOS delivered hundreds of bespoke mental health and wellbeing projects, programmes and webinars for organisations. Whether or not you’ve noticed a rising demand in your own organisation, the likelihood that mental health and wellbeing issues are impacting your workforce is indisputable.
Navigating Climate Resilience: Strategies for a Changing World
ArticleThe first-of-its-kind Health Day and subsequent Climate and Health Declaration at the recent COP28 was a landmark recognition of the interdependence and impact of climate change on human health. The Declaration, so far signed by 147 countries, acknowledges the increased negative health impacts on communities from climate change, the need to work with health ministries to build climate-resilience health systems, and the incorporation of health targets into national climate plans. While only the first step in a critical journey, the Declaration, and the accompanying $1bn (USD) in financing announcements from multilateral stakeholders demonstrates the international cooperation and funding required. Importantly, it also ensures that health officials, private sector health providers and other critical public health stakeholders are included in climate discussions that directly impact the infrastructure and delivery of health systems.
