How to manage work-life challenges that result in absenteeism, disengagement, a lack of teamwork, depression, and poor health for working caregivers.

GOLDEN, CO, USA, July 7, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What is your human resources department doing to reduce employee productivity problems at the office that result from caregiving problems at home? If you are like most corporations, you may not realize you have a caregiving problem.

A deep-dive digital caregiving program, Taking Care of Elderly Parents: Stay at Home and Beyond by expert, Pamela D Wilson provides a caregiving awareness plan and direct employee education in an extraordinary elder care solution for human resource departments.

Do Managers Contribute to Employee Productivity Problems?

A Harvard Business Review study confirms that direct reports frequently ask for personal advice from managers who spend between 2-3 hours each week responding to mental health, caregiving, and marital problems. Research by Bensinger, DuPont & Associates confirmed that forty-seven percent of employees say that issues in their personal lives sometimes affect their work performance.

Managers feel torn between focusing on job performance and listening to employees. Some employees expect support from managers in return for going the distance at work. Managers who take on the role of a counselor can cause more significant problems in the workplace when the time arrives for performance reviews.

Managers fail to discuss this counseling role in their job with human resource managers out of a hesitancy to disclose involvement in the personal issues of an employee. Crossing professional boundaries between managers and employees should be balanced by exhibiting empathy and compassion instead of becoming a confidant or advisor.

The Hidden Stress of Caregiving

Working employees may not realize they are caregivers for elderly parents because they see themselves in a helping role. By the time an employee understands that he or she is a caregiver, work-life balance may be teetering on the edge of crises.

Workplace performance is negatively affected by caregivers who feel unprepared and lack confidence in their ability to care for elderly parents. This worry and negativity can result in productivity concerns noticed by managers. Wilson's on-demand webinar offers in-depth information about the caregiving employee experience for human resource managers.

How Corporations Can Support Working Caregivers

Corporations can demonstrate support for working caregivers in a variety of ways. Knowing the support that managers can offer is one of the first steps in creating an employee awareness program on the subject of elder care. The human resource department should create a go-to document for managers with employee policies for work and other arrangements to accommodate caregiving responsibilities.

The workplace should make elder care programs available, and promote employee participation as a positive way to manage stress, provide training, and to improve workplace productivity. When elder care awareness programs exist, employees should not fear to disclose caregiving responsibilities to supervisors. Workplace elder care programs allow supervisors to refer employees to a confidential program for support.
