With recent and ongoing conflict in a number of countries and regions around the world, employers may have staff who are affected directly or indirectly, wherever they are currently located workwise and whatever nation they call home.
My client’s engineering business has a team of people who are sent abroad to repair and maintain specialist equipment on clients’ sites. Some of them are soon to be visiting areas affected by recent conflict, others are currently working in areas close to those affected. They also have employees with friends and relations in the region. They want to know what they can do to support their team members, both in the field and in the UK.
