In this episode of Inclusion in Progress, we will be exploring all the ways that we can make our workplaces truly family friendly, more accommodating and inclusive spaces for ALL caregivers. 

Today we will be delving into the subject of family, how the very definition of family is changing in today’s rapidly evolving world, and how that affects whether or not our employees fall under the caregiver category. We will delve deeply into why EAPs or Employee Assistance Plans need to be updated to include benefits for caregivers, paid leave for different family and caregiving situations, and considering situations such as bereavement, pregnancy and infertility. 

One of the questions we tackle often with client partners at Inclusion in Progress is how each of our definitions of family can change depending on our cultural background, upbringing, location or personal values. And it’s our hope that employers and leaders can begin to make space for family and caregiving that go beyond heteronormative roles. Tune into the episode to find out how to make your workplaces truy family friendly for all!
