The volatile environment in Myanmar is paralyzing basic business operations with the financial system and logistic arteries being backed up or blocked. In the Wall Street Journal's recent article, Global Guardian CEO, Dale Buckner, shares how the team at Global Guardian is supporting corporate clients on the ground during these challenging times with the Wall Street Journal.
The global pandemic will not be the last major disrupting event we face in the travel industry. In a recent Skift article, Global Guardian CEO, Dale Buckner, expands on the definition of duty of care and the challenging “what if” questions organizations have to answer: “Are your existing platforms, between insurance and vendors and providers, enough? Will it respond in a time of crisis or is it just superficial? That acknowledgement is really important at this time.”
While it is too early to know with certainty how and when travel will truly pick back up in 2021, there are two key variables that will play a huge a role –vaccine distribution and confidence of travelers. Global Guardian’s VP of Global of Global Risk Services, Michael McGarrity, weighs in on the discussion in Washington Post's recent article "How will the COVID-19 vaccines affect your travel?"
The list of services the COVID-19 pandemic has forced to change is long with corporate duty of care being one of them. According to the Wall Street Journal “Many employees who are now working from home due to the pandemic don’t have the same protections—such as a badge system or a front-desk security guard—often found in corporate office buildings. If a threat is credible, remote employees and their families could be more vulnerable.”
In TIME magazine's recent article, "The U.S. Capital Looks Like the Anxiety Americans Are Feeling on Election Day", the Global Guardian team was quoted for their predictions in their recent intelligence report.
In this week's NY Times DealBook, they highlighted how corporate America is preparing for a momentous election. Dale Buckner of Global Guardian had a chance to sit down with Lauren Hirsch to talk about companies’ preparations for potential unrest after the vote.

Already struggling with an economic crisis brought on by the pandemic, corporations can ill afford more loss. Below, read how businesses are pivoting to fulfill their duty of care obligations in Global Guardian’s CEO, Dale Buckner’s, recently published article in Security Today.
At a time when safety and security are top of mind for travelers, many are researching what the best option is to ensure they are covered should an emergency happen while on the road or abroad.
As lockdown restrictions ease, businesses are slowly starting to return to travel. However, with that comes risks and questions that companies must be prepared to address.
“When greenlighting travel, companies will need to do their homework and assume the potential expense of self-quarantines or rerouted itineraries to get employees home safely. With state and nationwide restrictions changing from week to week, that can add up,” says Mike McGarrity, Vice President for Global Risk Services, in Bloomberg’s recent article “The New Rules of Travel for Road Warriors.”
