The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association is proud to announce its latest Knowledge translation project “CSA Carer-Inclusive and Accommodating Organizations Standard”. The Carer-Inclusive and Accommodating Organizations Workplace Standard (B701-17) and the Helping Worker-Carers in your Organization Implementation Guide (B701HB-18) helps employers create practical and effective workplace accommodations that address the stigma and challenges of worker-carers.
The project introduces four steps for health and home care organizations to leverage their current HR practices and create a carer-inclusive culture. The four steps are:
1. Review current HR policies and practices
2. Engage senior leaders as champions
3. Co-design with employees
4. Communicate and raise awareness.
