For companies that employ #frontlineworkers, there's always a struggle with staffing, scheduling, and other issues. But what if the answer to those challenges isn't just an additional "25 cents an hour" as one employer recently put it in a podcast interview?
What if the answer is support. Respect. Appreciation of the difficult balance frontline workers have when it comes to their family and #caregiving responsibilities?
A brief preview:
Frontline work and caregiving are on a collision course.
Research estimates that frontline workers make up as much as 80-90% of the global workforce. These workers are essential in industries such as construction, retail, healthcare, food service, and manufacturing, driving economic stability and societal well-being.
However, they face unique and mounting challenges in today’s rapidly changing economy. Factors like inflation, labor shortages, and the ongoing ripple effects of the pandemic have amplified the pressures on frontline roles, particularly for those juggling caregiving responsibilities.
These challenges directly affect the employers and industries that depend on their labor. Insights from the Frontline Workforce Trends Study, published by Lighthouse Research & Advisory, reveal the critical intersections of caregiving, job satisfaction, and organizational outcomes.
The data highlights the urgent need for HR leaders to address caregiving challenges to create a more resilient and engaged frontline workforce.
