Carer's Support
What is Carer's Support?
Carer’s support includes policies to support employees who have caring responsibilities at home. A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who could not manage without help.
Benefits to Employer
With many countries facing an ageing population, an increasing number of people are undertaking carer’s responsibilities, offering carer’s support can help reduce absenteeism and improve productivity by allowing employees to better balance their work and caring duties. As women are more likely to undertake caring duties, offering support can contribute to improving gender equality in the workplace, including improving retention among this group.
Benefits to Employee
Carer’s support can help reduce the stress and time pressures associated with caring duties, enabling employees to achieve a better work-life balance. Offering flexible options for carer’s support allows employee-carers to manage their responsibilities in a way that is best suited to individual circumstances while easing some of the financial burden associated with caring.
