As more people live longer their care needs increase. Responsibility for providing that care increasingly falls on younger relatives who may also be managing the needs of younger families and a career.
In this Virtual Classroom, Michael Millward will explore the challenges of being a working carer and how an employer can best support their employees who also have care responsibilities.
Michael will explain why caring for an older adult is different from caring for a child and offer practical solutions to the everyday issues that both employers and employees face when an employee also cares.
