Behind every great employee is a story — and for more than half of today’s workforce, that story includes caregiving. They’re managing teams, projects, and loved ones all at once — often in silence. When organizations ignore this hidden workforce, they lose their most dedicated people to burnout and attrition. When they support them, they gain loyalty, resilience, and a thriving culture.
Workplaces That CARE™ helps you turn caregiving awareness into a business advantage — because supporting caregivers isn’t just compassionate leadership, it’s smart leadership.
The Business Case:
63 Million Americans are Caregivers and more than 50% work full time — often managing 20+ hours of unpaid care each week in addition to their full time job
Employers can lose $17–$34 billion annually in absenteeism, turnover, and reduced productivity due to caregiving pressures.
Companies that adopt caregiver support programs report measurable increases in retention and engagement among employees.
n Workplaces That CARE™, Dr. Anna Thomas reveals a proven roadmap for transforming organizational culture through the CARE™ Framework — Culture, Awareness, Resources, and Empowerment.
