Acknowledging the potential problem and assessing need are simple ways to begin to define what kind of assistance an organization or business could develop to support employee caregivers. Studies indicate that educational training and information services benefit informal caregivers as it improves their knowledge and self-confidence, and contributes to their general well-being. Many employee assistance programs offer counseling or stress management techniques. While these opportunities are beneficial for caregivers, their effectiveness is increased when practical resources are also available. For example, the employee who cannot find resources for their parent such as affordable homecare, prescription assistance, or transportation for medical appointments is less likely to benefit from a coping skills class. Literature reviews indicate that knowledge of support mechanisms and resources for elder care and self-care empowers caregivers. Outcomes directly benefit the overall health and well-being of older adults and their caregivers and have a positive economic impact on employers. While there are a variety of ways to support employee caregivers, each organization must define what services to offer and how those services will be delivered. What will work for one company may not be effective for another. With the availability of internet searches, useful information on elder care needs and caregiver support can be gathered. Local resources for seniors can be identified. Packaging and presenting information will depend on organizational preferences and resources. But, organizations must realize that caregiving for an older adult is usually long term. Whatever the supporting mechanism implemented, it should be ongoing and updated on a regular basis, as caregiver needs change and new resources are identified. An example of one organization’s effort to support employee family caregivers follows. Within the framework of Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital mission and values which includes Relationship Based Care © and Nurses Improving Care for HealthSystem Elders (NICHE) resources, the need to support co-workers who are family caregivers was identified. With both informal and formal surveys, it was determined that our employees who are caregivers reflect the national trends in regards to demographics and identified challenges. Researching and accessing available resources and services to support the caregiver role was a constant source of frustration. Identified needs were both practical and progressive. From simply finding reliable transportation or medication assistance to assuring safe and appropriate living environments, challenges are magnified during crisis. Realizing that the need for resources and tools was not limited to clinical staff, efforts were focused on the best method to reach all employees- from the loading dock to the board room. Identified as a mechanism accessible by every employee, an internal intranet site was created as a resource to support the caregiver role and relieve caregiver stress. Guided by a mission and values statement, content includes internet links to local and international eldercare resources. Practical information on many specific topics such as home safety, storm or disaster preparedness, and important legal documents are developed as separate pages within the site. A caregiver Bill of Rights, information on internet or local support groups, and tips to manage caregiver stress are included. Caregivers are invited to submit their personal stories as a means of connecting with others who have shared experiences. A feedback form allows for the submission of specific needs and requests. The site, NICHE 4 Caregivers, initially was promoted through mass emails and flyers. Rounding to departments and units with chocolate and site access information allowed for meaningful conversations. During National Family Caregivers month, an information table was placed in the hospital cafeteria and another mass email was sent out with incentives for submitting feedback on site content and individual needs. Embracing employee caregivers has been favorably received. Comments include an appreciation for simply acknowledging that family caregivers exist within our organization. Specific needs have guided site development. While limitations include lack of site access away from work and limited computer skills by some employees, the overwhelming need has started the conversation as to how we can continue to improve support for our employee family caregivers.
