Best Practices if an Employee is Taken Hostage


What is my duty of care to employees who have been taken hostage?

What are the latest kidnapping trends?

How would I help my employee get back to work after being held captive?


Get the answers to these questions and more at our seminar on May 30th in DC. We will review the latest hostage taking trends. We will use case studies and first-hand experience to review duty of care for your employees and their families should they be taken hostage. We will discuss post-captivity support and reintegration, including health and mental health, assistance with practical challenges, best practices regarding returning to work, and strategies to manage the long-term impacts of captivity.
