When work and caregiving collide: How employers can support their employees who are caregivers

Following Budget 2014, the Government of Canada launched the Canadian Employers for Caregivers Plan (CECP) to explore ways to help employee caregivers participate as fully as possible in the workforce.  In June 2014, the CECP established a Panel to consult with employers on workplace practices that support caregivers.  The Panel has now released a report presenting  findings and insights from its consultations on workplace practices for assisting employee caregivers, and providing recommendations for Canadian businesses interested in becoming more supportive of their employees who are caregivers.
