What Dr. Moorer can say in an interview about
Discussing Caregiving Responsibilities:
As an employer in the healthcare industry and a seasoned, Organizational Behavior Consultant. I understand the difficulty that many employees may have juggling workplace and caregiver-related responsibilities. COVID-19 coupled with the fears and anxieties of institutional living (i.e. nursing homes) or an aging parent living alone has placed more emphasis on “home” and aging at home as a more feasible option for families.
A key family member in the ecosystem of home-based care is oftentimes a key employee on an organizational team, business unit, or department. I recommend a few approaches and encourage our team of employees and contractors to apply these tactics and or approaches to this very timely and important topic of striking the right balance between flexibility, accommodations, and workplace commitments and obligations:
-
-
- Revisit the organization’s employee handbook’s policies on flex-time, telecommuting, and hybrid work schedules (office & home arrangements).
- Focus on the organization’s core values and leverage them in your conversations about family, work-life balance, etc.
- Keep a running dialogue and/or journal status sheet that provides details of all of your progress and contributions to and or projects. Incorporate personal goals regarding family and balance into your performance evaluations/self-appraisals.
- Keep your supervisor abreast of developments early in advance that may impact your ability to meet deadlines and or impact your attendance/performance.
- Effectively and efficiently use PTO (paid time off) and (vacation/sick leave/personal days) to help to meet the obligations of taking aging parents to appointments and/or follow-up visits.
- Discuss the timeline and or commitment levels of other siblings, caregivers, friends, and neighbors so that it does not appear that YOU are the sole caregiver and the amount of care or care demand will interfere with your ability to perform.
- Start a peer circle/support group for colleagues and employees who also are caregivers.
- Enable monitoring, tracking, fall-detection, and telehealth visits for aging parents and describe how these interventions enable you to be more responsive while being in the moment at work and while away from work.
