The Office Politics of Caregiving
Manage episode 435577394 series 3585352
There are over 50 million caregivers in the United States today, responsible for the care of an aging adult or a child with complex medical needs. But many of them, despite the added stress and pressure of the role, will not inform their team at work.
Today, we discuss how caregivers make some of the most effective employees, but only if given the right flexible and understanding leadership and work environment. We also learn that the level of support from a supervisor or the amount of autonomy in a job position can significantly impact not only a employee’s stress level and overall mental and physical health, but their caregiving as well.
