EXPIRING SOON: Two Surveys: Caregiver Needs and Managers supporting Caregivers
Good afternoon,
The pandemic has magnified challenges related to caregiving for parents and for those with adult or elder care responsibilities. If you are an employee or graduate student trying to manage caregiving responsibilities with work or your studies, the UW COVID-19 Caregiver Task Force needs your input:
- Complete the Supporting Working Parents & Other Caregivers Needs Assessment if you are a UW graduate student or working parent and/or have other caregiving responsibilities. Your participation in the survey is anonymous and personally identifiable information is not being collected.
- Complete the Manager Survey: Supporting Working Parents & Other Caregivers if you are a supervisor or manager of employees who have caregiving responsibilities.
Both surveys will open through Friday, Aug. 14, at 5 p.m. Results will shape the recommendations put forth by UW COVID-19 Caregiver Task Force, co-led by Graduate School Dean Joy Williamson-Lott and Work-Life Director Kathleen Farrell. Results will also be published on UWHR’s Working during COVID-19 website.
Thank you,
The executive sponsors of the UW COVID-19 Caregiver Task Force:
Cheryl Cameron, Vice Provost for Academic Personnel
Sarah Norris Hall, Vice Provost for Planning and Budgeting
Mindy Kornberg, J.D., Vice President for UW Human Resources
