To address the growing prevalence of caregivers in the nation and the workplace, Northeast Business Group on Health and AARP have collaborated on a first-of-its-kind instructional resource on caregivers for HR departments.
"Supporting Caregivers in the Workplace: A Practical Guide for Employers" is the latest in a series of caregiving initiatives created by the two organizations and offers employers guidance on creating policies to support caregivers in their workplace.
"Family caregiving is an issue that affects the vast majority of us. We are either caregivers now, have been in the past, will be in the future or will need care ourselves," AARP Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer Nancy LeaMond said in a press release. "Of today's 40 million family caregivers, 24 million are juggling caregiving responsibilities and employment. By recognizing and supporting their needs, employers can improve productivity and foster a stable and healthy workforce. It is great to see so many leading employers open to understanding this issue better, and we are pleased to be working together to help America's family caregivers."
