Webinar: Supporting Caregivers In Today’s Workforce

Canada is in the midst of a caregiving crisis—and it’s hitting closer to home than you might think. This isn’t just a social issue; it’s a workplace reality. One in three employees is balancing work with caring for an aging parent, a child with complex needs or someone facing medical or mental health challenges.

That’s over 6 million working Canadians who are quietly carrying a second shift that’s unpaid, unrecognized and, most importantly, unsustainable. As our population ages and the need for care grows, this number is only going up.

From a business perspective, caregiving affects productivity, absenteeism, retention and employee wellbeing. Smart organizations are waking up to the reality: supporting caregivers isn’t just compassionate—it’s a strategic advantage.

Join us for an eye-opening session hosted by the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce on:

• Caregiving trends that are impacting workplaces
• What the data tells us about future trends
• Practical ideas for employers to support working caregivers

Let’s make the invisible visible—and turn awareness into action.
