Encouraging candidates to emerge from their traditional and socially labelled roles would be a step forward to highlight that they do not only have to take on just a single responsibility of either a caregiver or an employee. Furthermore, by broadening the talent pool, organisations can select candidates from different backgrounds and industries, different job experiences, age and gender, which can create very diverse teams. For organisations to thrive, diversity is essential to drive creativity and innovation, enhancing cross-learning which leads ultimately to better decision-making.
