Practical wellbeing strategies to empower working parents and carers

Jennifer Liston-Smith, Head of Thought Leadership at Bright Horizons Work+Family Solutions, speaks at the Employee Wellbeing Congress 2022.

This 20-minute video from the Employee Wellbeing Congress offers practical wellbeing strategies to empower working parents and carers.

When we talk about everyday wellbeing, for working parents and carers this means more than their own mental or physical health. It’s about practical, hands-on solutions for family alongside work.

This video explores how childcare and eldercare benefits provision has moved beyond providing an absence management solution to becoming an important part of supporting the day-to-day wellbeing of employees. For example, many employers have started enabling their employees to use back-up care to provide virtual tutoring for children – a trend that demonstrates how wellbeing, and talent retention, have now become the key drivers in provision rather than purely absence management and covering care gaps.
