Employers Liability & Overseas Staff: Operational Threat Protection
06-Jan-2026
Category: News Stories
Any business which sends staff or has business interests overseas is potentially exposed to risk.
This can come in many shapes and forms. Not only risk to the safety of employees but also the risk of financial and reputational harm to the company itself.
Traditional insurances such as travel insurance, employer’s liability, professional indemnity and D & O cover may provide some solutions but not the ability to provide the immediate, 24/7 crisis response required to resolve the situation and mitigate the potential damage to company and staff alike.
Operational Threat Protection is a new and bespoke solution unique to TRP and which provides targeted crisis support and peace of mind for incidents which can include terror attacks, natural disasters, assaults on and kidnap/disappearance of officers and staff, political instability, embezzlement, traumatic death, hotel fires and serious transport accidents.
Rather than having to wait for Monday morning to arrive, OTP gives immediate support and guidance from a range of experts including security advisors and kidnap negotiators, local authority, consulate and FCDO liaison staff including political evacuation, something of increasing relevance in today’s world. Fraud investigation and extortion investigators, PR and media and where appropriate, trauma counsellors.
Dovetailing with existing insurances, Operational Threat Protection can provide prompt intelligence, situation reports and solutions enabling a swift response helping to mitigate the risk, the future potential cost to the company and danger to staff.
TRP provides a global response with our expert team which includes ex-military operatives who are there when you need it most for remote support and boots on the ground.
