Chubb adds e-learning functions to travel app

Chubb Ltd. on Thursday said it has launched an extended range of e-learning modules as part of its Chubb Travel Smart app for business travelers.

Developed with GWS Production AB, which provides companies and organizations with a travel duty of care management platform, the new integrated e-learning modules allow users to access all functions in a single mobile application, the insurer said in a statement.

A record is kept of employees who have completed specific courses, allowing risk managers and employers to monitor usage and ensure workers are adequately prepared for their trip, the statement said.

Chubb Travel Smart is the company’s duty-of-care solution designed specifically for policyholders’ employees to help manage and mitigate risks as they travel for work, and provides services like pretravel e-learning, direct access to medical and security assistance, and live location-based alerts to help avoid trouble and stay safe, the statement said.

Risk managers and human resources teams get an online dashboard summary of traveling employees, including their location and whether they are in any high-risk areas and can also send email and SMS messages direct to employees away on business or pre-travel, according to the statement.
