Caritas Rheine honored as care-friendly company / Care guides as contact persons
Düsseldorf/Rheine. cpr. At a ceremony in Düsseldorf, Karl-Josef Laumann, Minister of Labor, Health and Social Affairs of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), and the associations of the nursing care insurance funds in NRW honored companies that participate in the state program “Compatibility of Work & Nursing Care”. The companies in NRW, which now number more than 200, have in common that they are committed to reconciling work and private care responsibilities for their employees.
Caritas Rheine is one of the participating companies and has so far qualified four company care guides as part of the state program. Elisabeth Frahm, Ina Thalmann, Nicole Ritter and Thomas Brockhaus are the contact persons for initial discussions with colleagues. They talk to the employees concerned to get an initial overview of the care situation, then explain the current legal options and put them in touch with contacts from a large network of contact and advice centers that can provide advice and support to help caregivers cope with the care situation.
