In 2025, business travel will have fully resumed, but with it comes a new wave of risks that extend beyond flight delays and lost luggage.
At Callida Freemont, we speak to corporate teams, travel leads, and risk managers every week. And one thing is clear: the problem isn’t just risk itself, it’s how organisations manage it.
So, rather than talk about what we do, let’s talk about what’s keeping our clients up at night.
If any of the challenges below sound familiar, we’re here to help solve them:
1. You’re legally and morally responsible for your travelling staff
(Pain Point: Duty of Care Compliance)
With ISO 31030 now setting the standard, more companies are under pressure to demonstrate robust pre-travel preparation.
We offer certified, audit-ready training designed to support your compliance.

2. Training can’t slow operations
(Pain Point: Non-Disruptive Learning)
Lengthy, outdated travel briefings don’t work for busy teams on the move.
Our 2–4 minute online modules are accessible on any device, anytime, without interrupting the workday.

3. Insurers are demanding evidence of proactive risk management
(Pain Point: Insurance Premium Reduction)
You want to lower premiums, but your provider wants to see proof.
We help you demonstrate mitigation through certified, trackable training.

4. Your reputation is on the line if something goes wrong
(Pain Point: Safety Risk, Litigation & Reputation Management)
A poorly handled crisis abroad can quickly become an HR or legal nightmare.
We train staff to assess threats, respond appropriately, and avoid common travel dangers from civil unrest to gender-based threats.

5. You need clear documentation for audits and internal reporting
(Pain Point: Audit-Ready Reporting)
Whether it's for HR, insurers, or the board, evidence matters.
Our platform tracks completion and generates records that make compliance checks simple.

Geopolitical instability – sudden unrest or conflict, even in seemingly stable countries
