Global Management on Traveling --

Because our company is based on international relationships, traveling is a must. As the travel director here at Global Management, I feel that it is my obligation to provide you with some helpful information on staying safe during your travels. With the nature of our business being overseas, there are some important tips that should be kept in mind:

1. Always stay with your luggage until it is checked in. Make sure that you keep our company address on the tags, and not your personal one.

2. When taking taxis, always use one that is marked. Sit behind the driver so that you can see him, but he cannot see you.

3. Do not bring any flashy jewelry or clothing that indicates wealth. This will make you a target, depending on where you are.

4. Never go out late at night without someone else. Even then, stay in well-lit and populous areas.

5. Keep all of your personal information with you at all times including your passport, driver's license, social security card, etc.

6. Do not carry large amounts of cash, and try to limit the number of credit cards you bring.

7. Bring a first aid kit with medicine, band-aids, etc. just in case.

8. In the event that you are traveling somewhere with high amounts of crime, or country turmoil, consider applying for a security escort. If you are extremely concerned about this, the company will provide one for you.

And finally, always be aware of your surroundings. If at any time you feel that you are in danger, do whatever possible to remove yourself from the situation.
