There are many risks for companies with individual employees or groups of managers who travel internationally, or are stationed abroad, either long or short term.

These risks change from one region to another and the exposures rise and fall due to shifting political or economic factors in different parts of the world.

While the existence of these risks to managers and workers abroad have become more well-known since 9/11, new risks continually emerge. A new generation of tools designed to protect buyers against those risks is also now available.

Currently, many workers and managers go abroad covered by a benefits plan issued domestically. That is often not enough, or the policy may not cover the risks the company thinks it covers.

Some of the questions focused on in this webinar will include:

-- What are the emerging risks that threaten workers abroad?

-- How should risk managers structure their group life, accidental death and dismemberment, disability, kidnap and ransom, war risk and terrorism, and other gap insurance coverage when managers go abroad?

-- Which countries or individuals require higher limits? Who and what is covered when it comes to third-country nationals, local nationals and expatriates.

-- How do risk managers structure a group benefits program for workers abroad?

-- When is it necessary to modify a group policy underwritten in the United States but sold through a local carrier? Who's involved in structuring such a program? A U.S.-based carrier in conjunction with the local carrier?

-- What is the role of the broker? Does an insured go through a broker, and if so a global or local broker?

-- How does a company customize a program to fit foreign risks?

Those who should attend:

-- Risk Managers

-- CFOs

-- Benefits Managers

-- HR Managers

-- Brokers

-- Consultants

In today's uncertain economy, assessing risk is more critical than ever. To do this effectively, risk managers need a 360-degree view of their portfolio while underwriters need actionable intelligence on each business to help them better evaluate risk.
