Did you know that 1 in 7 UK employees are also a carer?

Many balance work with caring responsibilities for a loved one – often without their employer’s knowledge. Without the right support, businesses risk losing valuable skills, experience, and talent.

This free launch event will help employers recognise, support and retain working carers through:

• Practical strategies for identifying and supporting carers in your workforce
• Sharing good practice from other organisations
• Networking opportunities with local employers

Join us for a morning of insight, shared learning and collaboration, with complimentary drinks and pastries provided.Let’s work together to build carer-friendly workplaces that benefit both staff and business.
