As international travel becomes more common for work, employers are under increasing pressure to protect their teams abroad. Whether it’s a three-day conference in London or a month-long assignment in Dubai, one medical emergency can put employees and your company at serious risk.
That’s why business travel insurance for international employees is no longer optional. It’s a strategic necessity.
At Skyline Benefit, we partner with UnitedHealthcare Global to deliver smart, reliable travel medical plans that help employers fulfill their duty of care and safeguard their workforce wherever business takes them.
What Is Business Travel Insurance?
Business travel insurance is short-term international health coverage for employees who travel outside their home country for work-related purposes. It’s designed to provide protection during trips typically lasting less than six months.
It covers unexpected illnesses, accidents, emergencies, and more ensuring that your people get the care they need and that you avoid high liability or disruptions.
Who Needs Business Travel Insurance in 2025?
This coverage is ideal for:
- Companies with globally mobile employees
- International consultants, contractors, or project teams
- Staff attending overseas conferences, trainings, or client meetings
