This employee survey on workplace support for carers has been designed as a template so that, if you wish, you can amend it to better suit your organisation.

A workforce survey is a really valuable way of engaging with and identifying carers and also demonstrates that you are interested in and keen to support your employees. Even if you have policies and practices in place we know from experience that there will be carers who don’t recognise themselves as such and therefore haven’t taken up the policies. Equally there will be carers who are unsure of taking up policies if they can’t be certain of how their line manager will react.

Sometimes members prefer to arrange for completed surveys to be sent to Employers for Carers, to reassure employees that their responses will be treated anonymously and we can then produce an anonymised report. Alternatively members can carry out the survey and publish your own results internally.

You can also use your survey results as a basis for taking up your complimentary annual diagnostic session which members are entitled to.
