Traveling for Work? Here's How to Keep Your Team Safe Anywhere in the World

In today’s world, sending employees out on the road—whether it's across the city or across the globe—comes with a unique set of safety concerns. From petty crime in unfamiliar places to serious threats like hijackings or assaults, business travel isn’t always as safe as we’d like it to be. As an employer, you’ve probably already thought about travel insurance, health precautions, and emergency contacts. But have you considered what your staff would actually do if something went wrong?That’s where C.O.B.R.A.™ Self-Defense Training comes in.

• Someone trying to follow them from the airport
• Getting caught in a protest or violent crowd
• Facing aggressive behavior while alone in a parking lot
• Attempted muggings or carjackings
