It is often hard for individuals in the workplace to talk about their caring responsibilities and support needs as these can be difficult issues to raise. Managers can find it hard to initiate or respond to a conversation about caring too. The Carer’s Leave Act came into force on 6th April 2024, groundbreaking legislation that will see more employees identifying as unpaid carers.
This workshop will help line managers or other teams with employee wellbeing responsibilities to understand what carers may need in the workplace, start the conversation about caring and find out more about the Carer’s Leave Act.
This workshop will help you to:
- start a conversation about caring, whether this is about your own caring situation or that of the colleague(s) you manage.
- understand the legislative changes that will support unpaid carers in the workplace.
- explore workplace and external support options that may help.
- reach out to others in your team who may not realize they care.
