 Community is critical in supporting employees with caregiving responsibilities. Our founder Liz O'Donnell explains why, as well as how to create a supportive work culture, in her latest article for Fast Company Executive Board #caregiving #ERGs #HR #eldercare

Another excellent article in The Wall Street Journal on the challenges of family caregivers. This one covers the incredible cost of care at home and aging in place. https://lnkd.in/ezdsJ8vQ

Know a company that deserves to be on this list, encourage them to apply. ⁠ This is why the list is so important:⁠ ⁠ We MUST elevate the conversation around #eldercare as a workplace issue.⁠ We MUST lead by example to encourage other employers to address the very real fact that today's workers are also #caregivers. ⁠ We MUST shorten the curve or risk losing talent at an alarming rate. 10,000 people are turning 65 everyday and they will need care! That care will come from family members aka employees.⁠ ⁠ Please help us elevate this critical workplace issue.

Please take our survey and help educate employers on what caregiving employees need at work. Leave us your email (last question) and we'll enter you to win a $100 Amazon gift card

Why We Need This Program: Supporting caregivers at work must be a business imperative. More than 1 in 6 working Americans assist with the care of an elderly or disabled family member, relative, or friend. 70% of those caregivers suffer work-related difficulties due to their dual roles. Working daughters especially suffer loss of wages and risk losing job-related benefits because they switch to less demanding jobs, take time off, or quit work altogether in order to accommodate their caregiving responsibilities. The cost to businesses from caregivers leaving the work force is an estimated $3.3 billion.

Applications are open for The Best Places To Work for Working Daughters program. Now in its 3rd year, the program recognizes companies that truly support family caregivers. Many companies have programs in place to help workers who are parents, but equally important is supporting workers with parents – the working daughters and sons who care for aging and/or ill family members. In fact, caregivers are the fastest growing employee group.

Join us for real talk and a 360° view on how caregiving is impacting us all, including: - How prevalent caregiving duties are for people in the workforce and how current workforce policy does and does not account for this prevalence - The logistical and financial burdens of caregiving, and how to find private and public resources to help you lighten the load - The silent drain caregiving can be on your sense of control, mental capacity, and emotional resilience - Why conversations about wellness and wellbeing in the workplace seem to gloss over caregiving and how to address in your workplace
