New White Paper Guidance for Addressing Dementia in the Workplace.

A new white paper released by the Alzheimer's Association and Bank of America provides guidance for U.S. employers on addressing cognitive impairment and dementia in the workplace. The paper highlights the increasing rates of cognitive impairment and dementia among workers, with nearly 1 in 5 U.S. workers aged 65 or older. The paper offers recommendations for creating dementia-friendly workplaces, including training for HR personnel and supervisors, providing support for employees seeking medical advice, and evaluating accommodations for employees who wish to continue working. The goal is to create compassionate work environments that support employees and optimize productivity. [Extracted from the article]
