Like Atlas from Greek mythology, you may feel like you carry “the weight of the skies” each day especially if you are in charge of international travel for employees. Running a business isn’t easy…you’re constantly juggling between multiple project deadlines, client communications, invoicing / billing tasks and employee relations. And, as an employer, you’re probably handling phone calls with employees to clarify project specifications and manage business-to-business and / or business-to-consumer relationships. When you’re a busy executive, it makes a huge difference if you have a team you can trust…especially for important matters like employee travel security.

International Travel Security Consulting
In a recent meeting about travel security for employees, VIPs, and executives, a business executive asked a question. “How can we, as a company, determine what is a credible threat?” It was a great opening to a larger conversation about risks and security vulnerabilities, and the discussion that ensued had less to do with threats and more to do with expertise.

Just about every company has an employee travel policy. And every business traveler understands they must abide by the routine requirements. Starting at the airport, a series of security measures are taken to ensure everyone’s safety. Passengers are checked and processed all the way to their seat on the plane.

April 29, 2016 – New York, NY. IMG GlobalSecur, a leading international security consulting firm, is proud to announce that it has published a Q&A (Question and Answer) document on its website to address many questions on its FoneTrac travel security app. With business travel safety high on the minds of many corporate travelers, the company has received many inbound requests for basic information on the app.
“FoneTrac is the market leader in travel safety apps for business and corporate travel,” explained Chris Hagon, CEO of IMG GlobalSecur. “However, we receive so many inquiries over the phone with similar questions, that we decided to publish a quick Q&A on the website in advance of upcoming conferences on business travel security.”
To read the Q&A post in full, visit http://www.fonetrac-go.com/blog/2016/04/fonetrac-key-features-innovative-travel-safety-security-app/. There, in addition to an explanation of the benefits of this innovative travel security app (one with much more functionality than ‘free’ apps in the Apple Store or Google Play), one can also browse the website for more detailed information and even reach out for demo version.
International Travel Safety App: Common Questions
Among the more common questions asked about the app are the following. First and foremost, people want to understand what is a travel security app and how does a stand alone app differ from a more powerful connected app. (FoneTrac is the latter). Second, business travelers and travel managers are keen to learn about the check-in feature and panic button feature. While not wanting to invade the privacy of employees overseas, corporations do want to safeguard their security through both required check ins and an ‘on demand’ panic buton. Next, people are curious about how a travel safety app for either iPhone or Android can function in areas with poor cell or poor WiFi connections. Other questions are answered on the post as well, but again, interested parties should reach out for a demo version. No two travel security scenarios are alike, after all.

In addition, the alerts are valuable to companies with employees overseas in Europe.

Highlights of Business Travel Advisory vis-a-vis the Brussels Attacks
With the situation unfolding in real-time, the advisory provides common sense steps that business travelers, employers, and employees should be taking. Among them are the following. First, travel security managers should immediately check in with their employees in Belgium to determine their status and location. Employees on the ground, of course, should also check in immediately if they have not done so. Second, anyone traveling into or out of Belgium should expect significant travel delays. Third, travelers already in Belgium and the Zaventem municipality should await further instructions from the Belgian authorities. Finally, those in the impacted areas should closely follow local news reports.
