Inhalt:
"This book examines the psychological pressures faced by workers who migrate for short periods, exploring what it means to work in high stress environments, often on time limited contracts and with low levels of support, and how best to protect this kind of key worker. The text addresses three central questions. First, how we can think about the experiences of workers on the move? Second, what forms of support given by who, and when, provide the best staff care? Finally, how can appropriate and timely staff support by organizations in the wider context influence the lives of workers on the move? The authors, all psychological therapists and many former international workers, offer recommendations for workers in humanitarian aid, the mission sector, international contracting and seafaring, among others, taking into account the changing world of work, and the impact of the pandemic on it. Psychological Support for Workers on the Move provides essential guidance to organisations deploying personnel internationally, to psychological and wellbeing therapists working with them, and to individual workers themselves"--
