This program explores how employers, HR professionals, and workplace leaders can better support employees who are caring for a family member or loved one living with dementia. Many employees balance work responsibilities with the emotional and practical demands of caregiving, often experiencing stress, burnout, schedule disruptions, and reduced productivity. The session highlights the impact of dementia caregiving on the workforce and emphasizes the importance of creating supportive, family-friendly workplace environments. LTCCC’s free Dementia Care in the Community Toolkit is a collection of practical, accessible resources designed to help caregivers navigate common dementia-related challenges. The program demonstrates how employers can integrate these tools into wellness initiatives, employee assistance programs, caregiver support groups, and internal communications to strengthen employee wellbeing, reduce caregiving-related crises, and improve retention and workplace engagement.
