Employers for carers

Employers for Carers is a membership forum for employers who want to support the people in their workforce who are carers.

Its purpose will be to:

• identify and promote the business benefits of supporting carers in the workplace
• influence employment policy and practice to create a culture which supports carers in and into work
• provide a service to employers seeking to develop best practice in the workplace

Employers for Carers has been set up with support from Carers UK. We believe carers should have choices about work. It is important that those carers who want to work, and are able to do so, get the right support. At the core of Employers for Carers is a leadership group of employers - BT, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Unum Provident and Listawood. These companies are already rising to the challenge of supporting carers in their workforce and have a wealth of good practice and experience to share.
