International SOS’ Post

Today is World Hand Hygiene Day, a reminder that small actions can have a big impact. International SOS emphasises the importance of handwashing and proper sanitation. By prioritising simple hygiene practices, we can significantly reduce the spread of preventable illnesses and create healthier environments for everyone.

International SOS releases findings on the financial impact that failed business trips and international assignments, can have on organisations. Supported by a Return on Investment report led by Ipsos and developed with KPMG, the figures show that the cost of a failed international assignment can reach up to USD 1.25 million. Deficiencies in health, safety, security, and wellbeing prevention of an organisation’s mobile workforce can be reasons for failed assignments.

In a recent #RiyadhDaily article, Dr. Shane Stockil, Medical Manager at International SOS – Al Rushaid JV, highlights the critical role of health consulting in Saudi Arabia's giga-projects. "In the early stages of a project, our consultants focus on gaining a comprehensive understanding of the project's scope and objectives to better identify and address potential health and safety challenges. During the project’s construction phase, they continue to assist organisations by offering a wide range of insight, instruments and approaches to promote and enhance employee health, wellbeing and productivity. The key here is to support business continuity by providing timely and quality medical care to employees, thereby increasing their efficiency while minimising downtime" With a focus on preventive care, occupational health, and workforce mental health, we are dedicated to enhancing workplace wellbeing in KSA's booming economy.
