“As an Human Resources leader it was important to understand the struggles of employees of the company. Knowing how we can best support them is critical to our productivity and success. In reviewing our employees and having team conversations along with review personal time off, we realised that there was more to just work overwhelm and just wanting time off. Our employers expressed their personal stress as being either sandwich generation family members or caring for a loved one with memory loss or one of the many dementias. Donna reached out to us to introduce herself at the perfect time! At that time we spoke about the importance of supporting our team including those who were aging in the workplace. We learned a lot. We signed up for a full consultation and an education package that helped us to provide information to our team and that included direction as to how management could make changes to managing staff. Now we are regularly checking on how our employees are coping and learning about the disease, how we make the necessary changes within the company to retain our team members and also changes certain processes so that we are compliant. The courses have allowed us to become more dementia aware and make modifications for our employees and our customers.”
