Many caregivers end up putting their careers on hold due to the mental, physical, and emotional toll it takes, yet the right employer-provided support can make a huge difference in helping them balance their personal responsibilities and work.
Fifty-six percent of caregivers work full time, according to data compiled by caregiver resource The Family Care Alliance. Seventy-percent of working caregivers say the dual roles have caused difficulties in doing their jobs, and 69% say they have had to take an unpaid leave of absence in order to attend to their caregiving responsibilities.
