Employees of multinational firms remaining in Russia have been advised by global health and security consultancy International SOS that they face considerable risks.
Mick Sharp, chief operating officer, security services at the firm, told Personnel Today that these individuals should be prepared for restricted access to banking systems and cash, limitation on movements and shortages of imported items.
He said: “Organisations and business leaders, including HR, should be consistently reviewing risk assessments of individuals in Russia, and be providing advice around legal restrictions and interruptions to diplomatic support for foreign nationals.”
