As an employer, are you equipped to support — and therefore retain — your caregiver talent?
Nearly three-quarters of working Americans are already caregivers, a number that will increase as the population of people aged 65 and older goes up over the next several years. The National Cancer Institute defines the term caregiver as anyone who helps take care of someone else: children, the elderly, and those with a disability or chronic illness. Responsibilities range from researching facilities to helping with daily needs such as meal prep and errands to navigating the healthcare system. The hours add up, some of which caregivers have no choice but to pull from their workday.
