We
provide corporations with medical guidance
and customized travel health services to mitigate
corporate risk and to ensure a healthy and
productive workforce while abroad and upon
return.
Due to increased globalization, more and
more Canadian companies are sending their
employees to distant and increasingly exotic
destinations to conduct business. However,
few of these employers are fully aware of
the range of health risks to which their
people could be exposed during these travels.
A sick corporate traveller means:
- Lost business opportunities while abroad
due to illness
- Disruption to major projects
- Potential
repatriation costs
- STD/LTD claims upon
return
- Risk of infecting other staff
- Staff
replacement costs
- Reduced
productivity
- Lower
quality of output
- Reduced
staff morale
- Potential
long-term health conditions upon return
- Potential
employee lawsuits (if no action was taken
by the company to help inform and protect
the employee)
Fortunately, a great deal can be done to
minimize the risk of these events with a
combination of improved employee awareness,
training and expert medical advice. Medisys’
network of world renowned travel health physicians
can provide companies with clear, reliable
advice on how and when to protect their employees
against the unique risks associated with
corporate travel.
Our consultations are provided by highly
trained travel health medical professionals
and are customized to each traveller’s destination,
trip duration, medical condition and activities.
Furthermore, our national network of conveniently
located travel health clinics provides a
full range of vaccinations, prescriptions
and related products and services that is
unparalleled in the industry. In addition,
several of our travel health locations are
situated within our full service medical
clinics enabling busy corporate travellers
to combine travel health prevention with
more comprehensive preventive health assessments.
On-site vaccinations can also be arranged
for larger groups.
Our comprehensive approach of planning,
educating and vaccinating corporate travellers
ensures they are fully protected and prepared,
while mitigating corporations’ legal risk
and potential costs associated with a sick
corporate traveller.
