We were delighted to support the staff Thrive sub group “Parents and carers” at Cadent Gas who delivered a “Lunch and Learn” session focusing on recognising and supporting carents.
Cadent has almost 6,000 employees and, as is the case in many organisations, a growing proportion of them are acting as carents, juggling caring responsibilities with work commitments.
The lunchtime session included a personal story from one of their employees followed by a presentation from our Founder, Jackie followed be a Q&A session. Jackie stayed on to speak to individual carents and answer their questions.
Great session really helpful – and thanks Mike for sharing your personal story at the start must have been very difficult!
Throughout the day, employees could meet members of the Thrive team and access a variety of information about carenting including our own leaflets and ebooklet.
Brilliant session, thank you
Jackie introduced the resources available in The Carents Room and covered a number of carenting topics including:
- The Carenting generation
- Common Carenting pathways
- Practical Carenting
- Thriving whilst carenting
It was a pleasure to meet the team who made us extremely welcome and it was wonderful seeing an organisation so committed to recognising and supporting their employees in this way.
