Providing emergency assistance

Employers can provide migrants with timely assistance, whether independently or in coordination with recruiters, placement agencies, consular authorities, or other stakeholders. This can include:

• Locating migrant workers and identifying their specific circumstances;
• Providing transportation, accommodation, health care, security, and communication assistance to ensure the safety, health, and wellbeing of migrant workers and their families;
• Liaising with migrant workers’ team leaders to ensure emergency and contingency plans are being implemented in a manner that takes into account migrant workers’ needs.
