Today, more Canadians than ever are balancing paid work with unpaid caregiving responsibilities. For small business owners, recognizing and supporting carer-employees isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a smart business move.

Join us on Wednesday, June 18, from 12 – 1 p.m. ET for this timely and informative webinar exploring how carer-inclusive employment policies can strengthen small businesses.

Hosted by Dr. Allison Williams, Professor in the School of Earth, Environment & Society at McMaster University and Tier I Canada Research Chair in the Care Economy, Aging and Policy, the session will also feature Suneetha Kalyanaraman, Citizen Services Specialist with the Citizen Service and Program Delivery Branch at Service Canada.

Together, they’ll share insights on how supporting carer-employees can enhance workplace wellbeing, improve retention, boost productivity, and contribute to a more positive and resilient organizational culture—all while being cost-effective and practical to implement.

Why Attend?
Carer-employees make up a significant portion of the workforce, and this number is only expected to rise. For small businesses, embracing carer-inclusive practices can result in:

• Stronger employee loyalty and reduced turnover
• Higher engagement and productivity
• A positive reputation as a values-driven, socially responsible employer

Discover tools and frameworks—including the CSA B701:17 Carer-Inclusive and Accommodating Organizations Standard—that can help your business build a supportive, sustainable workplace for employees managing both work and care responsibilities.
