In this episode of the SAATKORN podcast, I speak to Maximilian Goulnik, SOS Lead Manager at WorkFlex. After many years of travelling, studying and working in various countries, Maximilian has turned his passion for international mobility into a career: today, he helps companies ensure the safety of their staff on business trips around the world. One sentence from our conversation really stuck with me: “You’re usually only prepared for crises once they’ve already happened – and that’s exactly what companies need to change.”
We also discuss, amongst other things:
🌍 Why international business travel is now a compliance issue
Business travel today involves far more than just flights and hotels. Visas, workations, geopolitical risks and legal requirements make digital processes indispensable.
🚨 Why international health insurance alone is often not enough
Many companies rely on insurance – yet this often leads to gaps in cover, particularly in crisis situations. Good preparation, transparent processes and professional support make all the difference.
📲 How technology simplifies the duty of care
WorkFlex combines compliance, travel risk management and 24/7 emergency support on a single platform. Dynamic risk briefings, alerts and mobile support help companies fulfil their duty of care efficiently.
