Raising the Bar – Supporting Working Caregivers

Presented at the 2024 National Lifespan Respite Conference, Albany, NY, by the Wisconsin Family and Caregiver Support Alliance

This interactive presentation briefly presented a study of Wisconsin employers and employed caregivers. Then attendees  learned specific strategies some employers are using to raise the bar of benefits and support to attract and retain working caregivers. The WFACSA HR Care Kit will be introduced to help social service providers, human resource professionals, and others create successful strategies to help engage employers in supporting working caregivers.
