Are you caring for a close family member? Are you taking care of your spouse?

If you are taking care of sick people or people in need of care while working, it can get to be a lot: helping with everyday tasks, assisting with household chores, administrative tasks and coordinating care services.

It is also challenging to be a parent caring for a sick or injured child. At the same time, the presence of parents is incredibly important during difficult times.

The fact that you are supporting your family members deserves admiration. Such a commitment can easily exceed that of full-time employment. However, dealing with the unexpected, being present day and night, and constantly responding to changing needs can lead to stress. Family carers often push themselves beyond their limits – and then end up ill themselves.

contact your line manager or make use of the Movis employee assistance service. Together with you and those responsible at your company, we will find a solution to achieve a good balance between work and your care responsibilities.

Family carers make a valuable contribution to society by taking on essential tasks. This deserves recognition. We assist you so you can carry on doing this – without putting your own health at risk.
