The Challenges
Whether you run a business, manage the Human Resources Department, or have any responsibility for employee matters, you recognize that making excellent hiring decisions and retaining key people help your business run at an optimal level. When a valued employee has a crisis, you understand the optimal flow of the business is negatively impacted.
According to the Metlife Caregiving Cost Study- July 2006, at least 6 in 10 employed caregivers reported they had to make some work related adjustments as a result of their care giving responsibilities. With an aging population and with two wage earners in most families, there is no doubt that this issue does and will continue to impact the employer dramatically. So that is the bad news. The good news is that there is a solution and that solution does not cost the employer anything…..yes….that is right……no cost to the employer.
