Ever thought how many of your most skilled, experienced people actually work two jobs?
With three million people in the UK juggling a day job with caring for someone who is older, ill or disabled, its likely you’ll have working carers in your organisation – often at the peak of their career.
Retaining valued members of staff and ensuring they remain engaged and productive is common business sense – and that means ensuring you have a supportive workplace for all staff, including the growing numbers who are or will become carers.
Carers Leeds can help. We facilitate a regular roundtable discussion amongst employers of Leeds to share ideas and best practice around how to identify, engage, support and retain valued ‘working carers’ in your organisation.
Here’s what to expect – our Agenda
- Who are working carers?
- Roundtable discussion
- Guest Speakers
- Find out how Carers Leeds support employers (free of charge)
Why supporting carers makes good business sense (and is the right thing to do)
- 1 in 7 of your workforce care for a loved one or friend outside of work
- 50% of anyone in work will become a carer before retirement age
- 600 people a day leave work as the juggling both roles becomes too much
