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 organisations
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 on this of the
Covid-19 pandemic. Psychological Support for Workers on the Move
provides essential guidance to organisations posting personnel
internationally, to psychological and wellbeing therapists working
with them, and to individual workers themselves
