Carer-Centric Leadership: Redefining the Care Sector

Dan Archer, UK CEO and founder of Visiting Angels, redefines leadership in one of society’s most vital industries at PeopleFirst Summit ’25. In “Carer-Centric Leadership,” Dan outlines his mission to make carers the centre of the business, reversing decades of undervaluation in the sector. He shares how Visiting Angels has pioneered above-average pay, wellbeing support, career progression, and values-based leadership to become an employer of choice. From starting at his dining room table in 2017 to scaling to 1,500 staff and £30m turnover, Dan’s story proves that valuing carers improves retention, satisfaction and client outcomes. This session is a powerful example of values-driven business scaling with purpose. Watch on-demand to see how supporting carers can transform not only one company, but the future of care itself.
