Caring & Career Line Manager Toolkit
Do you know anyone who is going through a life transition right now? Expecting a baby, caring for aging parents, bereavement, going through a divorce, providing community help, dealing with teenage children, caring for family members with disabilities ...
Chances are, you thought of more than one person within just a few moments of reading that question. Now imagine how many employees at your company are going through this right now, today. And how they must be feeling juggling personal and work life, not having the courage to start a conversation with their line manager, for fear of not being understood, supported or even deprived of future career opportunities.
Equip your line managers and HR to engage and retain talented professionals who have caring responsibilities, during such life transitions. Let your HR and managers be the 'heroes' who proactively accompany team members through changes. And doing so with ease, efficiency and effectiveness.
With our toolkit in your hands, HR and line managers will feel empowered to navigate multiple changes, while carers and parents will feel understood, supported and loyal.
It's a win-win for everyone.
What if you could provide all line managers with a complete toolkit to support team members during life transitions?
Expecting a baby, caring for ageing parents, bereavement, divorce, community support, dealing with teenage children, caring for family members with disabilities ... and the list goes on.
How many team members who are going through something like this can you think of right now? Perhaps a better question is - how many are not?
HR and line managers often complain that one of their biggest challenges is knowing how to support team members before and after carer / parental leave. Managers fear saying or doing the wrong thing, so often say/do nothing at all. The impact? Team members feel disappointed or struggle as they do not receive the practical support and empathy they need. And that's when attrition begins - visible or invisible and the pipeline leaks even more.
Let's turn that around in one fell swoop, shall we? With this Toolkit, you will:
- Save weeks of HR's time in trying to put together such a comprehensive toolkit;
- Significantly reduce the cost of attrition and disengagement and increase the belief that your employees can have caring and career, and continue to contribute to business continuity and growth;
- Remove obstacles and give HR and managers what they need to create clarity, consistency and better communication, to support their team members during life transitions;
- ... and most importantly: increase employees' level of engagement, appreciation and feelings of being supported, valued and understood.
