Exciting new research by L&PR Members Myra Hamilton and Marian Baird (@ProfMarianBaird) et al. in Community, Work & Family, investigating carer recognition & outcomes. See here: buff.ly/41brqst
Results show employees experiencing fewer disruptions in aged care services, employment & family domains reported higher recognition & better outcomes compared to those with more disruptions
These findings point to new ways we can enhance carers' recognition & improve their outcomes. Important implications for policy & workplace support. Thank you to the authors for this contribution!
