Employee Training and Development – Elder Care Solutions
Eldercare solutions for human resource departments are here. Research about working caregivers confirms decreased productivity, increased turnover, more frequent absenteeism, requests for time off, increased incidence of chronic illness, mental health concerns, and issues that link to wellness programs that may have low participation rates.

Pamela works with human resource managers to develop awareness campaigns and caregiver education programs that are relevant. These programs link to employee development and wellness programs to increase effectiveness and employee engagement.

The Stages of Caregiving
Caregiving is a significant life transition that is unexpected. In most families, early discussions about changes in health, caregiving needs, who will provide care, and the costs of care rarely happen.
Elderly parents may attempt to have these discussions and are put off by adult children who are unprepared to discuss a subject that seems far into the future. On the other hand, adult children may be noticing that elderly parents need more help, and parents refuse to have discussions.
Working caregivers face extreme pressure when elderly parents need care, and the reality of balancing work, life, and being a caregiver becomes a necessity. Caregivers unfamiliar with the stages of caregiving feel unprepared for caregiving responsibilities and caring for elderly parents.
Workplace programs for caregivers of elderly parents are still in the growth stages compared to maternity leave: child-care, or health and wellness benefit programs. The aging population statistics will gain attention as corporations increasingly experience losses in employee productivity, increased absenteeism, and employee turnover due to family caregiving situations.
Relevance exists in pairing employee health and wellness programs with caregiving programs and courses. Human nature confirms that individuals lack the motivation to make lifestyle changes to improve health until there is a significant reason to make a change. Becoming a family caregiver, watching an elderly parent suffer, and the worry of paying for expensive care not reimbursed by Medicare are motivating factors.
Planning for care costs and long-term care benefits from increasing awareness of a future that individuals will face. The healthy spouse loses a sick spouse; adult children lose parents.
These are uncomfortable subjects that Pamela addresses with authenticity, empathy, and humor based on more than 20 years of expertise in the caregiving field. Personal losses of both parents, a brother, and a sister offer additional insights into the experience of family caregivers who have no idea how to navigate care, healthcare, financial and legal systems.
The most successful caregiver education events address all stages of caregiving. Individuals who may be new to caregiving have the opportunity to gain awareness of future potential events. Others entrenched in caregiving responsibilities can look forward and have the hindsight to see how care situations may be improved.
Caregiving Speaker Video Conferencing Technology
How do you know if your company has the technology for virtual caregiver education events? If you have a large conference room that you use for events or if you rent or use another venue, it’s likely there is a room-based video conferencing system.
If you intend to host a multi-site meeting, you will want to contact the technology manager in your company to confirm the requirements. Don’t worry if you’re not a technology expert, Pamela can connect with the technology experts and let them work out the details.
As you are designing the goal of the event, you’ll want to decide between broadcast-quality video conferencing for the caregiver education event or web conferencing How do you know the difference?
Broadcast Video Conferencing
Livestream broadcast-quality video conferencing and webinars are similar to the quality of attending a live conference with all of the audiovisual bells and whistles. You invite employees, vendors, prospects, or colleagues to gather in a conference room or another venue. The opportunity exists to have pre-and-post communication and follow-up with the group.
Pamela D Wilson uses Livestream online technology programs that can broadcast live from a studio in Denver, Colorado. Depending on your needs, professional staff can operate the broadcast equipment to ensure a seamless event. Confirmation of compatible equipment and testing occurs with your company technology manager or hired professionals before the caregiver education event.
While you might believe broadcast video conferencing, webinars, or live events with question and answer webinars to be an added expense—the expense is a trade-off between travel costs for Pamela and the cost for your company to hire, if necessary, professional staff to manage the broadcast or videotaping. The benefit of broadcast-quality video conferencing is that you have a high-quality end video that you can license from Pamela for internal company use.
Zoom-Type Web Conferencing
Zoom or other web conferencing platform events is another option. If you’ve participated in online video conferencing or webinars that are web conferencing or desktop events, you know that the visual may not be sharp, or the lighting may be poor.
Web conferencing can produce lower resolution video. The connection may have flickers or interruptions in the video or audio. These types of presentations usually run from a desktop computer and a web conferencing program.
An essential consideration for web conferencing is whether you want group attendance in an office or auditorium or to have individuals join from their computers. In this situation, it is important to realize that you have less control over the physical environment.
Low environment control means that attendees may be distracted. Employees working from home with low Internet speed or sitting at a desk may not be as attentive to the caregiver education event.
Designing Caregiving Speaker Video Conferencing Events
Designing caregiver education events is a collaborative effort. If you have assessed your needs and have a plan, contact Pamela to discuss the details. If you are looking for program ideas or suggestions, Pamela will develop or offer outlines that can be modified to fit your needs.
As you know, the most important aspects of successful programs are to have a well-thought-out plan for the objective and whether this is a one-time or ongoing effort in the broader scope of a company program or initiative. Because caregivers are often at different stages in the role of being a caregiver, the ability to revisit a caregiver program is beneficial and offers long-term benefits. Many caregivers benefit from ongoing support from the workplace in addition to programs and initiatives that can also provide ongoing support.
