    Dozens of corporate and NGO representatives, along with working caregivers, gathered for the\u00a0\u201cUnderstanding Their World\u201d Talk for Dementia Care & Healing Workshop\u00a0on 28th\u00a0August.

    Two Practical Strategies for Implementing a Caregiver-Friendly Workplace:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \u2727\u00a0Empathy & Perspective-Taking: Swing, Founder of Home Care Apparel Company Limited\u00a0and an experienced social worker, drew on Montessori principles to help participants understand the inner world of individuals with dementia. Attendees learned a companionship model grounded in \u201cdignity and autonomy\u201d and how to translate it into workplace support policies.<\/span>
    \n\u2727\u00a0Management Mindset & Operational Balance: A friendly workplace is not just a one-way benefit. It requires empowering managers to be more sensitive to caregivers\u2019 challenges, offering reasonable flexibility and room for accommodation to help enterprises retain talent, reduce labor shortages, and mitigate risks, ultimately creating a win-win outcome for both caregivers and the enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In the second half, senior instructors led a hands-on \u201cKinusaiga\u00a0(No-Needle Patchwork Art)\u201d session. By introducing the concept that ‘companionship as healing,’ demonstrating to enterprises and employers the needs of working caregivers, fostering an understanding of how building a caregiver-friendly workplace can create positive energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The stress on working caregivers is often invisible\u2014\u201dsitting at their desk while their hearts remain with elderly family members at home.\u201d Modern talent strategies must prioritise psychological safety. The Caring Company Scheme will continue to drive ESG\u2019s \u201cS\u201d (Social) practices, turning empathy into concrete action to create a double-win workplace where employees feel empowered to speak up, seek help, and walk together. \ud83c\udf08\u2728<\/span><\/p>\n
