Returning a Grandmother’s Love | Dan Archer | TEDxHolgate Women

The loss of Dan’s grandmother inspired a unique approach to the 90% plus female work force in adult social care. Dan explores workplace compassion and understanding, the focus of a “people first” culture and the challenges of working differently to the rest of the care sector.

Dan Archer says of the social care sector that you don’t know about adult social care unless you work in the sector or need care for a family member. A personal experience of the difficulty in securing a reliable home care service for his Nan gave Dan a drive to want to change adult social care for the better. Since starting his business Visiting Angels in 2018 it has grown to be the fifth largest franchised home care provider in the UK. He is a champion for workplace mental health having created Angel Care to address the specific challenges faced by a predominantly female workforce.

By challenging received wisdom and loving their carers more Dan and his team are succeeding in a market with 152k vacancies in care and staff turnover which averages 60-70%. Dan has over 20 years’ experience in UK franchising and has been in the care sector since 2011. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
