A lot of attention has, rightly, been given to supporting parents to be able to juggle parental responsibilities with having fulfilling careers. But there is another, growing group of caregivers we need to consider: those caring for ageing family members. This type of caregiving comes with its own requirements that are distinctive in many ways from child care responsibilities.
As distributed family models become more popular the ability to juggle carer responsibilities for elderly relatives with the demands of our leadership roles becomes more difficult.
How do we make the space to prioritise the needs of our family with the needs of our teams and organisations?
Is it possible to make space for ourselves amidst all the requirements of our time?
How do workplaces and employers can support people in these roles?
We are joined by a group of design leaders who share their personal experiences of trying to find this balance and how we can support each other along the way.

Designers have a tick, we have an innate need to critique. It comes easy to us, it’s always obvious what should have happened, when, and to what end. This tick exists even when we are humbled by a role, dealing with endless constraints and nothing but wicked complex problems. Our spectator eye is...
