When care responsibilities increase
The impact shows up at work through lost productivity, absenteeism, and difficult decisions about whether employees can stay in the workforce.
When support falls short
Employees scale back or leave—driving turnover and higher costs.
Caregiving by the numbers
Replacing top talent lost to caregiving crises can cost up to 200% of their annual salary in recruitment and lost productivity.
- 1 in 5 employees are caring for a loved one with chronic, complex, or aging-related needs today
- 61% of caregivers are women in their prime working years, directly impacting your leadership pipeline
- 32% of caregivers have left a job entirely because their workplace lacked the infrastructure to support their care needs
The hidden cost of unsupported care
Without the right support, caregiving becomes a hidden cost across the organization.
Employers are increasingly seeing the ripple effects of caregiving responsibilities across the workforce:
- Productivity Loss: Hours spent navigating healthcare during work.
- Absenteeism: Care crises lead to missed workdays.
- Executive Burnout: High-stakes caregiving drains your top talent.
- Engagement Drain: Stress and burnout decrease employee focus.
