As the lockdown imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic is eased, many organisations are beginning to return to the workplace. This return to work will be challenging for employers and may also be a source of concern for many employees, including the added complication of caring responsibilities.
Since the beginning of Covid-19 there has been an increase of 400,000 carers in Scotland, bringing the total to an estimated 1.1 million. Now at 1 in 5 of the population, there is a strong chance that there will be carers among your staff so taking steps to support them at work is vital.
