Even more coaches are included within the platform

Carer Rights Support

Understanding carer rights and the equality act is important when hiring carers. Our Employers platform supports you to understand these rights, from creating or updating policies to understanding what is best for your company and employees.

Auditing

Ensure your organisation is compliant and carer-friendly. Our platform provides audit tools to review existing policies, highlight areas for improvement, and ensure alignment with national equality and carer support standards.

Flexible Working

Supporting carers means offering flexibility. Our guidance helps you create or adapt flexible working policies — from remote work and part-time schedules to job-sharing — so carers can thrive at work without compromising their caring responsibilities.

Communication

Clear communication is key to successfully hiring and supporting carers. We help employers develop inclusive communication strategies, create welcoming onboarding materials, and ensure carers are confident in raising needs and concerns at work.

Data Protection

Carers may share sensitive personal information. Our tools help you understand how to handle this data responsibly, ensuring GDPR compliance and promoting a safe, trusted environment for all employees.

Raising Awareness

Creating a carer-inclusive workplace starts with awareness. Our platform equips you with campaigns, internal comms templates, and storytelling tools to help your staff understand who carers are, what challenges they face, and why support matters.

Training

Upskill your managers and teams with practical, bite-sized training modules. Learn how to spot signs of someone juggling work and caring, have supportive conversations, and implement reasonable adjustments. Training boosts confidence and builds empathy across your organisation.

Carer Champions

Empower individuals in your team to drive carer inclusion. We help you identify, train and support Carer Champions — dedicated colleagues who raise visibility, signpost resources, and foster a culture where carers feel understood and valued.

DEI Strategies

Carers often go unrecognised in DEI conversations. We help you embed carer inclusion into your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy — ensuring carers are visible, supported, and included in decision-making, leadership pathways, and workplace equity reviews.

Measuring Impact

Know what’s working and what needs more attention. Our platform supports you in tracking your carer-friendly initiatives — from engagement metrics to policy uptake and feedback loops. Use this data to report progress and set goals that truly make a difference.

Hidden Carers

“Hidden carers” quietly balance work with caring for a family member, friend or neighbour. We help you uncover and support them through targeted resources, language tips, and low-barrier engagement strategies.

Normalising Carers

Talking about caring should be as routine as discussing childcare or health needs. We support you in making carer conversations part of everyday workplace culture — through inclusive messaging, carer visibility campaigns, and leadership-led modelling.

Data and Trends

Understand the scale and scope of caring responsibilities in the UK and within your own organisation. We provide up-to-date data, workforce benchmarks, and carer insight reports so you can see how your support strategies measure up — and where to go next.

Disclosure

Carers may hesitate to share their situation due to fear of stigma, job insecurity, or simply not recognising their role. Our platform provides guidance on fostering safe disclosure, helping you build a culture where employees feel confident and supported in speaking up.

Conversation

The first step to support is a simple conversation. We offer templates, prompts and manager guides to help you ask the right questions with empathy and clarity. Learn how to actively listen, signpost help, and follow up in meaningful ways.

What employers need	Bridgit Employers	Carers UK / Employers for Carers	Other tools
AI support	✅ 24/7 AI support with specialist coaches ready to help employers, managers and working carers at any time.	Offers digital resources, events and membership support, but is not centred around always-available AI coaching.	Some tools may include AI, but usually not dedicated to supporting working carers.
Practical next steps	✅ Gives clear actions, prompts and toolkits so teams know what to do next.	Provides guidance and resources that employers may need to interpret and apply internally.	Often broad or generic, with fewer carer-specific action steps.
Support for different workplace situations	✅ Covers identification, recruitment, day-to-day support, policy, retention, awareness and crisis response.	Covers employer resources, working carer support, training, events and benchmarking.	Usually focused on general wellbeing, HR advice, benefits or employee assistance.
Manager confidence	✅ Helps managers handle conversations, check-ins, flexible working and urgent caring situations.	Provides manager resources and training options, usually through membership access.	May include manager training, but often not tailored to unpaid carers.
Employee-facing carer support	✅ Helps working carers understand support, prepare for conversations and find practical next steps.	Provides resources for working carers through eligible employer membership access.	Often sits inside wider wellbeing or EAP services rather than dedicated carer support.
Local support pathways	✅ Can connect employers and staff with local carer support routes where available.	Primarily a national employer membership and resource model.	Usually limited unless already linked to local services or referral partners.
Policy and compliance help	✅ Helps with carers’ rights, carer leave, flexible working, audits and clearer workplace communication.	Provides policy guidance, templates and employer resources.	Often broad HR compliance rather than dedicated carer-friendly workplace support.
Toolkits and practical outputs	✅ Guided toolkits help create useful outputs such as action plans, policy support, training ideas and next steps.	Offers guides, model policies, resources and e-learning materials.	Usually templates, articles, learning modules or general advice.
Progress and recognition	✅ Bronze, Silver and Gold Carer Friendly Charter route planned to show progress and encourage action.	Offers Carer Confident benchmarking as a separate recognition scheme.	Recognition is often separate from day-to-day workplace support, if available at all.
Speed to start	✅ Simple digital access, with guidance and toolkits ready to use from day one.	Annual membership model with resources, events and benchmarking options.	Setup and usefulness can vary depending on the tool and internal rollout.
Best fit	Employers who want practical, guided support that teams can use immediately.	Employers looking for a membership, resource and benchmarking route.	Employers looking for broader HR, wellbeing or employee support tools.
