Three in four workers are #caregivers – responsible for the safety and wellbeing of someone other than themselves, while also striving to be a productive employee. Businesses have experienced the impact of this caregiving reality, losing $23B annually in productivity costs due to child care challenges faced by their workforce. In a recent USA TODAY feature, Best Place for Working Parents® Co-founder, Sara Redington, shared how family-friendly policies can measurably benefit caregiving employees and increase talent attraction, retention, motivation, and performance. Swipe to learn four steps that can help build an effective, family-friendly culture that encourages employees to succeed and STAY for the long-term. #FamilyFriendlyPolicies #ParentalLeave #WorkingParents #BestPlace4WorkingParents

Moms are speaking up — is your organization ACTUALLY listening? Alongside Superkin partner Paula Faris & CARRY Media™ , we're working with organizations to develop cultures, policies and benefits that attract and retain not just working moms — but CAREGIVERS in the workplace. (Because we promise you — it’s not just moms who want flexibility.) As nearly 3 in 4 employees have caregiving responsibilities, support at work for this cohort is no longer a nice-to-have but business critical in 2024. I love what Paula said, "Moms want REAL flexibility. This looks like being evaluated for the job they do...not when and where they do it." 👏 Interested in learning more about how we can partner together? 📩 Send me a message! #workingmoms #workingparents #CHRO #HRbenefits #culture #caregivers

This article is one of the best things I have read in a long time. As someone who has been absorbed through life into the world of caregiving for parents and children, birthwork, and individuals with disabilities, this vibrated in my soul. We know better now, so let's do better for new parents, for older adults and those caring for them, and for individuals with disabilities. It is one of the best things I have read in a long time.

"There are only four kinds of people in the world. Those who have been caregivers. Those who are currently caregivers. Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver.” Rosalynn Carter   The landscape of the modern workplace is evolving at a breakneck pace. Yet, many organisations lag behind when it comes to adapting their policies to support working parents and carers. Join us in promoting positive change by downloading our white paper on Supporting Carers in the Workplace. ✨ https://lnkd.in/gyx9SaHc #WorkplaceWellbeing #SupportCarers #InclusiveWorkplace #MentalHealth #CaregiverSupport #FamilyFriendlyWorkplaces

Navigating work and caregiving responsibilities can be a real balancing act. Did you know approximately 20% of the U.S. workforce juggle their full-time jobs with an additional 20 hours per week providing care for loved ones? Employers can play a significant part in alleviating this burden by fostering flexible, supportive work environments. Let's build a workplace that truly appreciates and aids our caregiving workforce. #CaregiverSupport #EmpathyInAction https://lnkd.in/gNJRJSwe

With more and more workers having to balance work and caregiving for family members, employers must address the unique challenges faced by this growing population. The #HRWest 2024 session "Navigating Caregiving Challenges at the Workplace: Empowering Employers to Support Family Caregivers," presented by Megan Burke, Senior Manager Partner Success for CareGo by Sompo Horizon, will provide actionable strategies for HR professionals. Join us March 5-6 in Oakland, Calif., to learn how to measure the robustness of caregiving support needed in an organization, learn about innovations in the emerging AgeTech sector, and discover a proactive approach that promotes employee well-being, reduces absenteeism, and improves employee retention. https://okt.to/DeCjaN #Caregiving #Wellness

The AARP headline for this new report, "New U.S. Workforce Report: Nearly 70% of Family Caregivers Report Difficulty Balancing Career and Caregiving Responsibilities, Spurring Long-Term Impacts to U.S. Economy," is jarring and should raise concern about maintaining a stable economy as well as the health and well-being of the nation's family caregivers. For those working caregivers who work full or part-time and then return home to full-time caregiving duties during their "time off", the five day work week is a myth. ARCH would encourage employers, who want to support their caregiving employees to stay in the workforce and be productive, to consider providing a respite care benefit to their caregiving employees. They deserve and desperately need to experience "time off" just like their non-caregiving peers. Yet respite is never mentioned or recommended as an employee benefit. The documented benefits of respite care to reduced caregiver stress should not be overlooked. #RAISErespite
