Research shows that around 600 000 Australian employees are responsible for caring for an elderly relative or friend and some 15 per cent of these people need to change their working arrangements to accommodate this responsibility.
In addition, the ABS has shown that employees with elder care responsibilities take 30 per cent more time off work than people with child care responsibilities.
Facing up to and addressing the challenges posed by Australia’s ageing population is a responsibility that organisations cannot afford to ignore.
The Care Corporate Senior Care Program was designed to ensure organisations have the resources available to support employees as they become carers and to help older employees plan for their last years of work and retirement.
Our Senior Care Program offers a range of valuable articles and resources for the working carers of older people as well as a comprehensive carer search engine.
For older workers we offer plenty of information on planning for retirement including financial information and lifestyle options.
Ensuring your organisation has a comprehensive Senior Care Program that future proofs your employees by offering a range of valuable and appropriate benefits will deliver strength to the bottom line through boosting staff retention rates, morale and improving productivity.
