The future of workplace benefits is evolving before our eyes. As demographics shift and family responsibilities become more complex, a powerful trend is emerging: comprehensive caregiving support at work. The numbers tell a compelling story, and it's a story that has only accelerated post-COVID. With at least 1 in 4 employees now juggling both childcare and aging parent responsibilities, caregiving benefits are becoming essential to retaining top talent and maintaining workforce wellbeing. A number of incredible companies profiled in this piece from SHRM—including Voya Financial and Hilton—are showing what's possible when it comes to employee caregiver support. And the impact is huge, driving enhanced retention, improved productivity, and stronger employee engagement.

More than 14 million military and Veteran caregivers provide $119 billion in care annually, and face complex challenges navigating benefits and support. New research from RAND this year also reveals that 40 percent of these caregivers are part of the "Sandwich Generation" — simultaneously caring for both a Veteran and a child under 18. This Veterans Day, and indeed this National Veterans and Military Families Month, let us recommit to guiding our Veterans and their families in navigating their care journeys, advocating for those who have bravely served and sacrificed for their country, and supporting the tireless commitment of military family caregivers who give so much to take care of their loved ones. https://lnkd.in/eAgWJJrV #VeteransDay #NationalVeteransAndMilitaryFamiliesMonth #caregiving

“The delicate balance of working and caring for a loved one is taking a toll on Americans.” That’s one of the many points made in this strong piece from AARP focused on the importance of flexible policies and benefits when it comes to supporting employee caregivers. Drawing from research with S&P Global, it’s the latest piece in what’s been an unprecedented year for data and insights on how care impacts today’s workforce. A few important points from their research and analysis: + Nearly 90 percent of Human Resources managers believe that caregiving benefits attract talent, and more than 75 percent say caregiving benefits help reduce employee healthcare costs; + More than two-thirds of all employee caregivers say they have difficulty balancing their jobs with caregiving duties; + And caregiving responsibilities have led to nearly one-third of employee caregivers needing to take a leave of absence in order to manage their family’s care; It all reveals a clear path forward: flexible work policies and providing support for caregiving employees can deliver measurable returns, all while helping millions of employees navigate one of their most fundamental family obligations.

While our commitment to supporting family caregivers remains steadfast year-round, November holds special significance as National Family Caregivers Month. At Wellthy, we've always known that family caregivers are the backbone of healthcare and wellness. And now, new data powerfully illustrates this reality — family caregivers provide more than $870 billion worth of care each year, a staggering figure that represents countless hours of dedication, love, and sacrifice from millions of families caring for their loved ones. As we head into National Family Caregivers Month, let's continue to build more care infrastructure, more innovation, more empathy, and more impact to support the countless millions of people balancing caregiving alongside so many other responsibilities. We see you, we honor you, and we recommit to our dream of a world where everyone has the care infrastructure they need to take care of their own health, and the health and well-being of their families. #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth #FamilyCaregivers #Caregiving

One third of family caregivers have left a position because they couldn't reconcile work and caregiving obligations.??That’s just one of the critical impacts of care on today’s workforce that Professor Joseph Fuller and Professor William Kerr discuss in this recent episode of Harvard Business School’s podcast “Managing the Future of Work.” But as Professor Fuller shares, it doesn’t have to be this way for millions of employee caregivers. Caregiving benefits can reduce this rate of turnover and provide a substantial material return for companies. "There are hard economics at stake here, and what we have found through research, using data from a company called Wellthy, is that when you look at the systems effects of providing care economics, they actually have very attractive return profiles," says Professor Fuller — especially through reduced turnover and higher employee engagement. The business case is clear: investing in care support for employees delivers returns just like investing in quality operations. Companies avoid the waste of losing valuable talent, just as manufacturers avoid production waste.
