Caring for the carers
They’re the unsung heroes juggling work while caring for partners, children – young and grown-up, parents, family members and friends.
The time and dedication to care for somebody else can have huge impact of everyday life and your wellbeing – ranging from work and finances to relationships and family commitments.
You’re not on your own. Caring@RoyalMail offers a supportive network for all colleagues in Royal Mail. And support is also available through the Wellbeing Employee Assistance Programme. Whether you need to speak to someone in the moment, or would welcome practical or financial support, it’s there for you 24/7. Access through the Wellbeing Hub.
Taking Care understand the difficult challenges our customers have, many of whom are unpaid carers, and are committed to providing the best support for them and their loved ones. Their personal alarms and 24/7 emergency monitoring give valuable peace of mind and reassurance to both family members and their vulnerable loved ones who know that expert emergency help is on hand at the touch of a button whenever they need it. And they offer Royal Mail colleagues a special discount. You can read more from them here:
