Whether employees work from one location or are spread across the country or globe, employers have a duty of care to their workforce, including taking steps to prevent harm and address any risks. Part of this is understanding the potential for emergencies such as natural disasters, violent conflicts, acts of terrorism, and any other circumstances that may put employees in danger, says Dale Buckner, CEO of security solutions company Global Guardian.
