Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Paid carer’s leave would directly benefit over 2 million working carers, offering financial security, flexibility and dignity. For employers, it could mean billions in savings via reduced staff turnover and greater employee retention. Perhaps just as importantly, it would build confidence. It could empower carers to apply for jobs that they might otherwise feel shut out of, helping to broaden participation in the workforce and unlock that untapped potential.
