Working Caregivers: What You Need to Know and Why
One in 6 U.S. employees currently provides care to a family member or loved one. Failure to support employee caregivers can cost $3,000 per worker in higher health care costs, productivity loss, absenteeism and, ultimately, turnover. AARP research shows that providing caregiving benefits can be powerful retention tools, and it does not need to be complicated or expensive.
In this session, you learn specific steps you can take to support your employee caregivers. Key session takeaways include:
-
Demographic and labor trends contributing to the rise of working caregivers
-
Benefits and tactics for supporting the caregivers in your workforce
