New good practice guide: engaging carers


The latest addition to the XpertHR good practice manual discusses the actions that employers can take to support employees who have caring responsibilities for an older, disabled or sick family member, partner or friend. 

  • Good practice: carers This good practice guide discusses: how to identify carers; flexible working and leave arrangements that can help carers to combine work and care; information, advice and guidance for carers; training line managers on how to support carers; and communicating the organisation's support for carers to the workforce.
