Business offers up employees as family care providers to the negligent healthcare industry, destabilizing the workforce. Families can’t fix this.
The collision of work, wellness, and caregiving has reached a boiling point. Nearly 50% of today’s workforce is impacted by caregiving responsibilities—struggling silently, reducing hours, or quitting under pressure. With 70 million Baby Boomers aging into care dependency, this crisis is accelerating.
Shockingly, a Harvard study reveals that while 80% of employees report caregiving negatively affects their productivity, only 24% of employers address the issue. Companies understand the problem at home but not how it impacts the workforce. This inaction costs businesses billions in:
- $11,000 lost annually per caregiver in productivity, absenteeism, and turnover.
- $3,200 in additional healthcare costs per employee due to caregiving-related stress.
- Disrupted team workflows and damaged morale (costs many businesses fail to measure).
For forward-thinking businesses, the solution is clear: the Caring Place HUB and CareWise Corporate Community Membership. These transformative programs deliver immediate ROI and long-term workforce sustainability.
