Healix, the healthcare and risk management services provider, has announced a new strategic partnership with GSA Global (GSA) – a leading risk, security and resilience management consultancy and service provider. The agreement between the two firms represents a significant milestone and will bolster Healix’s travel risk management service offering to its clients.
Under the agreement, GSA will provide Healix’s clients and prospects with independent travel risk assessments and audits to check that travel management policies and procedures meet the best practice criteria included in the ISO 31030:2021 framework.
This ISO guidance is the travel management industry’s global benchmark and demonstrates a rigorous level of due diligence in mitigating travel risk. It places employee safety as a primary priority in travel management.
As part of the service to Healix, GSA will provide its GSA ISO 31030 Readiness Assessment, helping organisations to understand whether their current travel risk management arrangements meet the expectations of ISO 31030 and GSA’s audit towards the GSA certificate of accreditation.
Commenting on the new partnership, James Henderson, CEO of Healix International said: “Our partnership with GSA Global marks an exciting development for Healix, significantly enhancing our travel risk management services. Collaborating with an independent organisation to review our clients’ travel risk management programmes not only adds credibility but also ensures that we are delivering tailored, high-quality solutions for both our current and future clients. Together with GSA Global, we’ll be helping clients meet the requirements of ISO 31030 and ensure duty of care for their travellers.”
David Wood, CEO of GSA Global added “In a time of challenging world events, we are delighted with our new partnership with Healix which brings together a wealth of experience across the remit of travel risk management and allows us to deliver an enhanced service to organisations around the safety and security of their travellers.”
