A survey of Canadian workplaces is currently being conducted in collaboration with Donna Lero (University of Guelph), Nora Spinks (WorkLife Harmony) and Janet Fast (University of Alberta) to determine employers' experiences of helping employees manage work and adult caregiving responsibilities. We invite employers to participate in the caregiving and work programs, policies and practises survey. Results will provide a current view of the availability, accessibility and effectiveness of workplace supports in Canada.

We are also offering to employers roundtable workshops on Caregiving and Work. The next roundtable is scheduled for November 3, 2011 in Burnaby BC. Please contact Sara at smacnaull@vifamily.ca to register for this free event.
