There’s Honor in Asking for Help® campaign’s mission is to advocate and support employees who are caring for a loved one to remain employed and productive in the workplace. Caregiver Support Services is here to provide you- the employer, with the right information at the right time and to coordinate assistance based on the needs of individual employees. Equally important are the obvious savings for employers, who through low utilization rates of their EAP programs, productivity loss due to workday interruptions and loss/replacement of an employee who may have to provide full-time care for a loved one will pay most of the cost when an employee’s caregiving situation goes unsupported by their employer.
There are stereotypes out there about employees who have caregiving responsibilities. For example, employees who have caregiving duties are less committed or are underqualified in getting their job done. These types of stereotypes are counterproductive and can lead to unfavorable treatment and unnecessary stress for a company’s most important resource, the employee. As an employer you have an opportunity to redefine the way you support their employees who care for a loved by doing the following:
 |
Be open to flexible work arrangements. Flexibility allows an employee to have the autonomy and control in achieving their work goals while balancing their personal needs.
- Flextime
- Compressed Work Week
- Part time
- Modified Job Duties
Partner with CSS to develop caregiver specific resource and referral services to complement your organization’s EAP services.
