As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses and enterprise organizations adapt, the risk management community expects business travel and working patterns to stabilize by the end of 2022.
The International SOS Risk Outlook 2022 highlights that the time taken to reach the "new normal" post-pandemic varies significantly across activity type. Specifically, the data shows that both remote and site work are likely to have reached a measure of stability by now, while in-office working may take longer. Business travel is expected to face the longest period of disruption, with 15% of respondents expecting a “new normal” could take up to two years to be established.
