“Creating a supportive workplace for caregivers can become a key retention and recruitment tool,” says Nancy LeaMond, who is AARP’s Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer. “Workers will be drawn to your business, and favorable word will spread. In addition, because the 53 million caregivers of loved ones of all ages are such a diverse group, “family-friendly policies can help an organization meet its goals for diversity, inclusion, and equity.”

In her LinkedIn post at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/message-employers-family-caregivers-strengthen-your-nancy-leamond/, LeaMond explains that caregiver support is about smart business, not charity. You’ll find data and how-to’s in the AARP employer toolkit at https://www.aarp.org/work/caregiving-resources/.
