Survey for HR Professionals

You are invited to participate in an online survey that will take approximately 25 minutes to complete. This online survey will consist of a range of bullet, Likert and qualitative questions exploring responses to COVID such as: changes made to operations, protocols and work tasks as they affect DDCs. This will allow us to capture how COVID-19 has impacted workplace support and explore challenges experienced by DDCs.

Summary of Project
The term ‘double-duty carers’ (DDCs) refers to unpaid family carers who are employed in the healthcare field while also providing unpaid care outside of work (to a family member or friend). The purpose of this project is to examine the impact of COVID-19 on both DDCs’ unpaid caring work and paid healthcare work. DDCs and employers can benefit from evidence-informed guidelines on best practices, in order to reduce consequences like illness, work absences, and stress.
