BUILDING CARER FRIENDLY WORKPLACES TOGETHER
Supporting working carers isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s the smart thing to do.
1 in 7 employees are caring for a loved one or family member and 600 people a day leave the workforce because of their caring role. That’s at least 219,000 skilled people each year.
It can cost £30,000 to replace an employee when you factor in recruitment, training and lost productivity. Organisations that recognise and support employees with caring responsibilities see real benefits, including reduced absenteeism, improved staff retention, higher productivity, and better employee wellbeing.
We are running a free programme that offers a package of support including local employer forums, awareness training and tailored one to one guidance. By registering an interest your organisation can access free resources to improve staff retention, enhance employee wellbeing and foster a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture.
Whether you’re in HR, leadership, or just looking to make your workplace more inclusive, please get in touch to find out more about what we can offer or complete the registration form below.
This free programme is part of Healthy Working Life, a joint programme of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB). The Health 7 Accelerator provides £11 million for the ICB and partners to address economic activity, prevent it from getting worse, retain jobs and help people return to work.
