Travel & Health Insurance - Are You Covered?

Many companies do not have adequate health and/or travel insurance cover. You must explore this with your human resources office before you depart so you are aware of what is covered, what isn't and make any arrangements if cover is not adequate. Think about general health, emergency health, lost luggage and cancelled flights. Also worth contacting the airline you are using to see what cover they are providing. This is particularly important if you are travelling on a corporate team building trip and there are many bodies to consider.

It's well worth your time trying to pick up the basics of the language used most commonly at your destination. Try to encourage all travellers to participate and learn some useful terms, both friendly and business related terms will be useful. You can immerse yourself in a good phrase book and keep it handy when you arrive. It shows that you care about how your hosts perceive you and that you have invested some of your time in having more comfortable relations with them.
