Caregiving exists in many forms. "Often, the abstract image people have of caregiving is limited in scope — picking up a child from school, for example, or going on parental leave.

Research from Harvard Business Review shows that 73% of people surveyed in the U.S. have some type of caregiving responsibility. Companies can support caregivers in a variety of ways, like offering flexible benefits for everyone to normalize taking leave, and reducing the stigma of caregiving at work (ERGs, leaders who self-identify as caregivers, etc.) Read more, via Harvard Business Review: https://lnkd.in/e5sk3989
