Read our short employer toolkit with practical advice and top tips to help employers, line managers and HR staff to engage carers in their workforce. 

Engaging carers in your workforce is about:

• creating a carer aware workplace 
• communicating what support/policies you offer 
• cultivating a supportive culture where people feel confident and comfortable about taking up this support

This simple Employers’ Toolkit has been produced by EfC to help you:   

• raise awareness about caring amongst your workforce and the impact that it can have
• identify carers in your workforce including colleagues who might not realise they are caring
• reach out to carers to provide information about relevant workplace support and ask them about any further support needs they may have

EfC Toolkit – Engaging carers in your workforce

Employers for Carers have created two maps representing the caring and employment journey. The caring journey map focuses on the different stages of caring and significant transitions that carers may endure and the employment journey map focuses on the opportunities that employers/line managers/HR can use to support carers throughout their working life.
