In the context of our Duty of Care, we want to revise our Travel Risk Management Protocol.

• Revising and (further) developing the Travel Risk Management Protocol (focused on safety and security);
• Establishing a clear process for the preparation, instruction, and guidance of employees before and during (and after) their trip;
• Ensuring that employees demonstrably possess the correct information and practical preparations (depending on destination and risk);
• Organizing the necessary coordination within the organization so that employees feel supported;
• Contributing to clear communication regarding risks, responsibilities, and measures to be taken;
• (Further) developing formats/working methods to ensure consistency and quality.
• Aligning processes and procedures with the Thales Group standard.

What are you responsible for?
• You ensure that the process is not only correct on paper but also works in practice: from travel request to return, with attention to awareness, instruction, and operational support.
