There could be as many as 300 million caregivers in the global
workforce providing care for loved ones – elderly parents, a
life-partner with a health condition, or a disabled child/sibling or
close friend who needs support. As populations age around the world
and welfare support declines, the number of people voluntarily caring
for another will grow. However, despite the demands and pressures that
caregivers are under, many organisations offer little practical
support to employees – support that, if provided correctly, will
benefit both employee and employer. Take Care is a practical guide
that enables employers to better understand and support employees with
caring responsibilities. It presents this as part of good management
practice that strengthens organizational resilience and
sustainability, and also argues that this is now an integral element
of being a responsible employer and organisation. The book includes
practical examples from more than fifty employers around the world,
from small businesses to global enterprises, as well as public sector
and NGO examples. It also features the personal stories of individuals
in the workplace who have successfully championed change.
