Infos

This book is aimed at all those in managerial and organisational roles in the maritime industry who have a duty of care for seafarers. Ensuring that seafarers are safe and in good health results in a workforce enabled to perform its duties in an optimal way. Seafarers play a key role in the success of the maritime industry, yet their welfare can be neglected. This can be costly, not only to the seafarers, but for businesses too. In recent years, the importance of employee wellbeing has become evident; employees who are physically and mentally fit are usually more productive and less prone to accidents. For those at sea, wellbeing comes with its own challenges, with seafarers undergoing prolonged periods of isolation and having limited access to services. As well as physical and mental wellbeing, topical areas include how to: * improve organisational culture and wellbeing * deal with conflicts, bullying, discrimination and harassment * defuse crisis situations * overcome fatigue and manage seafarers' workloads. Written by experts in the industry, this title offers practical advice on improving individual and corporate wellbeing. With useful appendices that include templates and checklists for quick reference, Wellbeing at Sea will help employers to fulfil their responsibilities to their employees, and ensure excellence in the physical and mental wellbeing of all those at sea.
