Webinar - From working carers to ageing workforces: Support matters
16 September 2025
This Alzheimer’s Month, join us for a 40-minute webinar for HR and Line Managers, in partnership with our Eldercare Support Service partner MorganAsh
About this event
Alzheimer’s disease represents the most common type of dementia. There are 55 million people living with dementia around the globe. And it’s estimated that this number will rise to 139 million by 2050.
So, it perhaps comes as no surprise that around 1 in 7 of all UK workers is currently juggling work and care. The Carer’s Leave Act, introduced last year, has prompted more employers to go above and beyond the statutory regulations to introduce paid carer’s leave. But what more can employers do to help. We find out, with expert help from Kay Haighton-Lloyd, Nurse Manager at MorganAsh.
In this webinar, we will:
- Discuss what good support for working carers looks like.
- Explore the potential needs of older workforces. And how to support an employee with early-onset Alzheimer’s.
- Understand more about the Care Act 2025, due to be implemented in October 2025: What do employers and employees need to know?
