Employer’s Guide to Work-Life Programs and Policies

The Employer’s Guide was developed to help employers evaluate and enhance current policies and work-life programs to ensure that their organization and employees are supported and prepared for the impact of end-of-life issues––family caregiving, grief and loss, serious illness and advance care planning––in the workplace.

The Employer’s Guide contains the following features:
  • Employer self-evaluation to assess current policies and procedures. 
  • Model benefits and policies. 
  • Learning resources for managers including self-directed learning modules and topic-specific FAQ’s and resources. 
  • Tools for workplace program development such as caregiver support programs, peer grief support programs, and lunch and learns.
