Unum UK is enhancing its support for carers with an offering from Lottie, an eldercare specialist.
The move follows its update to its carers leave policy in January, offering all staff with caring responsibilities up to five days of paid leave per year.
Using Lottie’s platform, Unum can now provide its 900+ employees with eldercare support, ensuring that they can access information and advice on caring for their elder dependents
Founded in 2021, Lottie’s Seniorcare service combines healthcare expertise and accessible technology to create an eldercare solution which allows users to compare care homes and providers to help find the right care solutions.
“Care specialists can provide one-to-one support and guidance for users throughout their journey to help alleviate emotional burden and provide more information to understand, find and fund care for loved ones.
Jane Hulme, HR director at Unum UK, said: “Connecting Lottie’s eldercare expertise with Unum’s culture of putting people at the heart of employee benefits helps make sure the caregivers among our workforce can be fully present and thrive at work.
“With five generations in the modern workforce and a growing number in the ‘sandwich generation’, we want to nurture and retain the best talent through different stages of their working life to enable them all to thrive.”
