Get ready to explore the caregiving phenomenon impacting businesses across the United States. Caregivers, anyone who is at least partially responsible for the health, safety, or wellbeing of a loved one, can cost their employers $3,200 – $8,000 annually in absenteeism, health care costs, and lost productivity. With over 55 million caregivers in the U.S. and a rapidly growing population dealing with chronic conditions, the challenge of caregiving has never been more pressing.

During this presentation, you will:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of how employers can optimize the caregiving process for their employees, creating a supportive and efficient work environment.
  • Uncover the five social trends driving the "crisis of caregiving" in our society and learn how to address them effectively.

There are over 55 million unpaid caregivers in the United States, 24% of whom report that they are caring for more than one person. Many caregivers are caught between the needs of their young families and the daunting task of caring for their older relatives.

Watching a loved one grow old is filled with emotional upheaval; when you compound that with other stresses —rush-hour traffic, deadlines, sick children, dirty laundry—caregivers are often left holding the bag. They feel a pressure to be all things to all people, often ending up as the martyr and giving themselves the short end of the stick.

This informative yet uplifting presentation will:

  • Suggest ways the audience members can juggle their various caregiving responsibilities.
  • Provide useful tools to help them let go of their feelings of guilt.
  • Discuss practical ways to get family members to help with caregiving demands.
  • Share the best ways to avoid butting heads with aging loved ones by fostering their independence.
  • Overview how being the “CEO of Your Own Caregiving” can allow audience members to juggle both giving care and a career.
