iJET Launches Worldcue® EXPAT

Annapolis, Maryland - February 19, 2003 - iJET Travel Intelligence (iJET), the travel risk management company, today announced the availability of its Worldcue® EXPAT service for employees on long-term assignments outside their home country.

iJET´s Worldcue EXPAT service is designed especially for expatriates, allowing both the employee and employer to receive updates about changing conditions in order to avoid and respond to possible security threats and disruptions to the assignment.

The Worldcue EXPAT package includes:
  • Access to a personalized Web site with continuously updated information and security assessments for the assigned country and region
  • Distribution of "Push" alerts and advisories which proactively warn the expatriate of increased threats or advisories related to the assignment
  • Easy maintenance of an employee profile and contact information
  • Access to an extensive library of advice and company-specific information
  • Optional global travel, medical and security assistance can be added to the service
iJET provides real-time travel alerts and continuously updated country and city information in 10 categories including safety & security, health, transportation, cultural awareness, legal concerns and local laws for over 180 countries and 268 cities.

"We designed Worldcue EXPAT to meet the unique needs of corporate expatriates. This proactive risk management approach warns expatriates of changing conditions, such as civil unrest, transit strikes, severe weather or terrorist activity, enabling them to avoid issues before they become problems", says Bruce McIndoe, CEO of iJET Travel Intelligence.

Prudential Relocation, a leading provider of global mobility services, will offer the new Worldcue EXPAT service as part of every international relocation package. "Local safety and security is a constant concern for employees relocating internationally," advises John O´Connell, vice president, Prudential Relocation. "The service offered by iJET helps provide peace of mind to these employees and their families."

iJET´s Worldcue EXPAT services seamlessly integrates with the Worldcue® Risk Management System, allowing corporate risk and human resource managers to track and communicate with employees (expatriates and travelers) through a single integrated system. If an incident occurs in a particular location, employers can immediately determine which employees may be impacted. Corporations and their employees are able to easily maintain a database of emergency contact information, allowing the firm to automatically "push" a notification to all affected employees immediately - whether it is one employee or thousands.
