Carer Friendly Employer Network

Employers Supporting Working Carers

Nearly 1 in 7 workers is a carer and close to 70% of carers have quit work or reduced their hours due to the stress of juggling work with care. Changing demographics and an aging population mean that 3 in 5 of us will end up looking after a loved one at some point in our lives.

Supporting the carers in your workforce isn’t just good for your employees; it’s good for business. Research shows that supporting staff to effectively juggle their home and work life, and continue in employment, holds valuable benefits for the business, including:

  • Staff retention
  • Reduced absence
  • Increased productivity
  • Improved morale

Carer Friendly Employer Network is a membership and accreditation scheme for businesses.

  

Becoming a Carer Friendly Employer Network member is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your commitment to corporate social responsibility and improve the social value of your business. It demonstrates a positive and proactive approach to staff wellbeing, equality and diversity. Importantly, becoming a member of the Carer Friendly Employer network could be a very important step in supporting and identifying carers within your workforce.

As a member you can access: 

  • Online Resource Library  
  • Online E- learning
  • Networking opportunities
  • Bespoke delivery in the workplace to support your staff
