Locations"

This thematic issue will focus on duty of care or the obligation of
employers to protect the health, safety, security and well-being of
employees (see here for the link to EJIM:

<http://www.inderscience.com/info/ingeneral/cfp.php?id=2237> ).
 
As a result of globalisation, organisations (whether for-profit, non-profit
or governmental) have talent deployed all over the world as locals,
international assignees or business travellers. This exposes the workforce
to greater environmental risks that need to be mitigated and managed.
 
So far, contributions to the field of Œemployer duty of care¹ have come
mainly from outside of HR. With this issue, our intention is to integrate
the various interdisciplinary contributions on this topic with the broader
fields of talent management and global mobility.
 
Papers in this issue will cover the whole spectrum of duty of care issues as
outlined below. We welcome conceptual, empirical (quantitative and
qualitative) and case study research.
