As companies continue to invest in different regions of the world, management teams can sometimes encounter problems with local customs and business practices. These issues often involve behavior, or expectations among local business partners, or recently acquired local companies that run contrary to well-established, ethical and legal business practices. One potential outcome of combatting these issues can be the illegal detention of your senior executives, middle managers or other employees.
Illegal detention presents a company’s crisis management team with a number of issues that need to be managed in a responsible manner while ensuring the commercial viability of the operation and maintaining the company’s reputation. In addition, the health and safety of those employees who have been detained must be paramount in all of the company’s actions.
ASI Global’s consultants have a great deal of experience in providing invaluable advice and counsel in these types of situations. In such situations, ASI Global will deploy a consultant to the location most appropriate to join the management team as it sorts out the issues and responds to the situation. The role of the consultant is to provide analysis of the situation and provide strategies to achieve the client’s objectives in resolving the situation.
