Alzheimer’s causes many problems with memory, thinking, and behavior that can develop slowly and will progressively get worse over time. It is important for those with this disease to stay active and participate in types of activities that may stir up memories and lessen the anxiety and agitation they may be experiencing. In a recent blog post, our team of Care Coaches compiled some great ideas on how to create a significant experience for your loved one with Alzheimer’s.

A recent UrbanSitter survey revealed that: 👉 81% of employees would be more likely to stay with their current employer if they began offering caregiving benefits 👉 73% saying it would help them decide on a new job.

A Harvard Business School study that I read today as a part of my onboarding shared: "Over the last 50 years, the American economy has become dependent on women, with female labor-force participation peaking at 60% in 1999. More important, women represent a clear majority of enrollees in higher education: In 2015, more women had completed some college, or had a bachelor’s degree, than men. With more good-paying jobs expected to require a college degree in the future, U.S. employers will be more reliant on women to occupy hard-to-fill positions. Caregiving considerations, however, are likely to continue to impede the ability of women to occupy many of those jobs. Even though many men are taking up caregiving responsibilities, women still shoulder a disproportionate share of the caregiving load." Ooof! The rollercoaster of emotion that I experienced reading this. At first I was like "Hell yeah, let's go girls!" But then towards the end there, I was like "Oh yeah that totally tracks." Though the 'traditional household' looks a lot different for most in 2024, as a society we still rely heavily on women inside and outside of the home. This isn't a secret, you see tons of moms trying to "do it all" (myself now included) and I'm here to tell you that the weight of this much responsibility can sometimes feel crushing. Even if you have a supportive spouse or village of family members to pitch in. So what can we do about it? How can we improve as a society (and not just for women, but for everyone)? Everyone's situation is different, and there's certainly not a blanket answer that will satisfy everyone's needs. But some employers see an opportunity to assist and help their workforce with the ongoing burden of care. And how are employers doing this? By nurturing a care culture and offering caregiver support services such as Cariloop to their employees. As a woman, I am proud of the work we are doing here at Cariloop to assist with the ongoing burden of care at all levels.

Did you know a staggering 83% of LGBTQIA+ employees would consider leaving their current employer for one that offers a family-building benefit? As we wrap up Pride Month, we want to remind employers to look at how their benefits support all employees who might be starting a family. Read our latest blog to learn how we can support the LGBTQIA+ employees in your organization: https://hubs.li/Q02DHCYf0

Thank you Philly SHRM for including us in this conversation, we were honored to participate!

Did you know that LGBTQIA+ older adults often care for each other in isolation? About half of all caregivers don't have any additional help, and many chosen family caregivers, most of whom are LGBTQIA+, provide sole care (43%) or are the primary caregiver (25%). It's crucial we recognize and support these unsung heroes. Let's work together to ensure our LGBTQIA+ elders have the support they need. #InclusiveCaregiving #LGBTQSupport #PrideMonth

73% of employees are caregivers. The challenges they face every day in balancing work and life are significant, urgent, and deserving of real support. Prioritizing the wellbeing of all your employees—and their loved ones—starts with honestly assessing how your benefits address their specific needs, and where there’s room to do better. We’re here to help you make that assessment, and take the next steps required to attract, support, and retain talented people who care for others.
