Top-ranking safest countries worldwide after restriction

February 25, 2021 | xpath.global

HR specialists worldwide are gradually resuming pending global mobility processes as authorities lift restrictions. The anticipation is for a future where expatriates can undertake assignments without the need for self-isolation. While the pandemic-related uncertainty has diminished, questions linger about the safest countries for global talent.

Heading: Lack of Industry-specific Information

Despite various studies on travel safety, most information is tourism-oriented, focusing on holiday destinations rather than global mobility hotspots. Forbes recently addressed this gap with a study that provides mobility professionals with a global overview of the safest countries to travel to during these times.

Heading: Surprising Safety Trends

Surprisingly, countries with delayed responses in implementing restriction measures are not necessarily the ones suffering the most. China, currently ranking seventh, exemplifies this trend. The safety rankings seem to correlate with strong economies that cautiously lifted restrictions without compromising public safety.

Heading: Economic Stability and Safety Scores

Countries with robust economies, coupled with gradual and cautious reopening measures, appear safer than those struggling to revitalize their economic landscapes. Economic stimuli for SMEs and pandemic-related unemployment benefits may contribute to safety scores by fostering stability that trickles down to businesses, employees, and customers.

Heading: The Role of Regional Context

While national rankings provide valuable insights, regional context is crucial. Different regions worldwide have been affected economically and in terms of public safety, influencing overall safety rankings. Regional disparities underscore the need for a nuanced understanding when considering global mobility.
