WHAT’S THE WORKPLACE CHALLENGE?
Without the right support, many employees struggle to balance the demands of work and caring for a family member or friend with additional care needs.
This hurts your bottom line by reducing workplace productivity and organisational knowledge when carers quit or are unable to perform at their best due to caring duties.
WHO IS A CARER?
A carer is someone who provides unpaid assistance, support and care for individuals who are unable to fully care for themselves.
They can be family members, friends or anyone who plays a role in supporting someone with their daily living activities and overall wellbeing.
