The forgotten issue: Supporting family caregivers in the workplace

In this episode we explore the crucial and often overlooked issue of supporting family caregivers in the workplace. Stephanie Leung, CEO and founder of Karehero, who shares her personal journey from a high-flying career at Goldman Sachs to becoming an advocate for caregivers. Stephanie opens up about her experiences as a family caregiver from a young age and the challenges she faced balancing work and caregiving duties. With over 7 million people in the UK alone juggling these roles, it's time we address the pressures they face and how employers can step up to support them.

Stephanie's story highlights the pressing need for better support systems for working caregivers. Her experience underscores the often-unrecognized burden many employees carry, dedicating over 33 hours a week to unpaid care on top of their regular jobs. Stephanie emphasizes the need for organizations to adapt to the realities of an aging population and a shrinking birth rate. The importance of understanding individual needs within the workforce is paramount to retaining talent and preventing burnout. We explore how employers can create supportive environments for caregivers, ensuring that employees don't have to choose between their careers and their loved ones.
