The Travelers Companies has rolled out Global Companion Plus+, which builds upon its property and casualty offerings for US firms with foreign exposures.
The new product offers protection for employees who are employed outside of their home countries by providing Primary Foreign Voluntary Workers Compensation.

It also offers an additional $1m limit for US based companies as an extra layer of protection when an eligible foreign subsidiary suffers a covered loss.
Additionally, Global Companion Plus+ offers global panel counsel service to help businesses in need of legal assistance abroad find in-country representative with experience in local regulations and languages.
Emergency evacuation coverage is also provided by the company to offset the cost of employees who evacuate while abroad. This includes coverage for natural disasters, political unrest and endemic disease.
Travelers vice-president of the Multinational Accounts Practice Tony Giannone said: “Even if a business does not have a physical foreign footprint, having international customers, worldwide vendors or employees who occasionally travel to different countries could create exposures that may not be covered by a typical domestic business insurance policy.
