Supporting Carers in the Workplace
This Carer’s Week we should take time to recognise and gain understanding of those supporting people with disabilities, long-term health conditions, mental health conditions, or who need extra support as they get older. Especially family and close friends who spend time caring for someone. The challenges for these individuals are often overlooked in the workplace, but we know that caring can have a huge impact on a person’s working and personal life. Carers have developed a whole range of skills that are an asset to any organisation, and we should focus on how we can support, retain and uplift carers in the workplace.
