Caring and isolation in the workplace
Employers for Carers and Carers UK have undertaken targeted research into the impact of caring as a cause of isolation in the workplace.
This study was undertaken between December 2014 and February 2015 to improve understanding of:
- how and why working carers can often feel lonely or isolated (either at work or at home) even when they may be part of a busy workplace or wider family unit
- how working carers can best be supported to minimise such isolation including through early advice and information and practical help
- practical ways in which employers and other parties can help
