Approximately 24% of the U.S. adult population are caregivers, translating to about 59 million people. Whether caring for children, aging family members or both (hello sandwich generation!), caregiving can take its toll mentally and physically. Recent data found that one in ten leaves taken are to care for a family member. Those individuals are significantly more likely to need additional leave for themselves later, often citing mental health concerns including burnout. And beyond the employer’s challenge of helping their caregivers, there’s another question: when is an employee providing family care under the law and what are the considerations? Featuring real-life examples and current case law, this webinar will highlight the intersection of caregiving and employee absence trends, featuring program and compliance considerations to holistically support the caregivers in today’s workforce.
