Caregiving & Workforce Struggles

Caregiving & Workforce Struggles America's aging population is creating a caregiving crisis that is threatening the workforce. Millions of workers, often nearing retirement, are juggling jobs with caring for elderly parents or spouses. This unpaid burden is shrinking the workforce and stifling innovation. A staggering 22% of retirees left the workforce early due to caregiving responsibilities. Surprisingly, supporting employees as caregivers can be a win-win for businesses. By offering flexibility, understanding,and resources, companies can boost employee morale, retention, and productivity. Small steps like flexible schedules,caregiver training, and eldercare resources can make a big difference. It's time for corporations to become caring companies that prioritize a strong workforce. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Related Episodes: Beat Burnout - 52 Weeks of Self Care Caring for the Caregivers: A Self-Care Revolution ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sign Up for more Advice & Wisdom - email newsletter. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please help us keep our show going by supporting our sponsors.
