A Silent Crisis: Working Caregivers
Are Begging For Help
By Gema G. Hernandez, D.P.A.
In my years helping working caregivers
have found that a successful caregiver support program
goes beyond information and provides intervention,
services and ongoing support tailored to the needs of
each individual caregiver. I have also found that if
corporations see this as an imposition, not as a quality
control measure, they will never make the investment in
the program. It is up to us caregivers to make the
corporate world aware of our needs and to support
efforts that will alleviate our ongoing burden. Contact
your human resource department and find out what they
offer in terms of working caregivers, and if they don’t,
let them know that assistance exists to support
corporations to deal with this challenging and growing
crisis.
For corporations to maintain their
competitive advantage in the global market they need
dedicated and experience workers willing to give 120% to
their jobs this is achievable is they now that
corporations are willing to help with their family
caregiving responsibilities. The rewards are there for
companies that provide assistance to the working
caregivers. This is an investment that at the end will
save money and generate goodwill for all.
