SUMMARY:Work and Care: Creating Caregiver-friendly Workplaces
DESCRIPTION:Over half of Canadian women (52% in 2022) provide care for children or adults\, paid or unpaid\, significantly more than men. In 2022\, 1.8 million Canadians were “sandwich caregivers\,” supporting both children and care-dependent adults simultaneously. A large number of women in these percentages are Autistic and are caretaking for individuals who are Autistic (both diagnosed and undiagnosed). \n\n\n\nPresented by Autism Edmonton and Caregivers Alberta\, this one-hour Lunch and Learn workshop will explore practical ways to help employees balance their work responsibilities with caregiving duties. It covers organizational policies\, procedures\, and practices that support caregivers\, as well as flexible work options and accommodations. \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn about tools like Caregiver Needs Assessments and Work Plans to ensure caregivers receive the right support while maintaining productivity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 12\, 202612:00 – 1:00 p.m.Online via Autism Edmonton \n\n\n\nRegistration for this event is via Autism Edmonton’s Eventbrite page.
