Based on benchmarks from Value in Health: ~23% of employees balance work with caregiving, losing an average of 100 productive hours/year at a fully-loaded cost of ~$56/hour.

Insight:

Many organizations underestimate the scope of caregiving responsibilities among employees. Without visibility, challenges often surface later as burnout, absenteeism, or retention issues. Nationally, 23-43% of employed adults are currently balancing caregiving responsibilities alongside their work (Guardian Life, 2025). The 40-65 year old age bracket contains the highest concentration of elder caregivers.

‍

Three in five family caregivers are women (Caregiver Action Network, 2025). If a significant share of your workforce falls in either of these categories, the impact of caregiving is already present; it just may be hidden from your view.

Based on benchmarks from Value in Health: ~23% of employees balance work with caregiving, losing an average of 100 productive hours/year at a fully-loaded cost of ~$56/hour.

Insight:

Your responses suggest caregiving responsibilities are influencing attendance, stress levels, or engagement. This is a critical moment where proactive support can prevent escalation.

‍

Working caregivers miss an average of 1.2 workdays per month due to caregiving duties, contributing to an estimated $17.5 billion in lost wages nationally each month (SHRM, 2025).

‍

Nearly 47% of caregiving workers report arriving late, leaving early, or reducing hours to manage care duties (ZenCaregiving.org 2025). Providing support earlier in the caregiving journey allows employers to address real barriers employees are facing today, rather than responding only when a crisis disrupts work or wellbeing. Proactive support helps support productivity, reduce stress, and ensure employees can remain fully engaged at work.

Based on benchmarks from Value in Health: ~23% of employees balance work with caregiving, losing an average of 100 productive hours/year at a fully-loaded cost of ~$56/hour.

Insight:

Caregiving demands are likely contributing to burnout, disengagement, and turnover. Employers that address this proactively often see improvements in retention, productivity, and manager effectiveness.

‍

Edler caregiving is rarely predictable and the impact on the workforce shows up clearly in the data. While 27% of working caregivers reduce hours or shift to part-time, and 16% decline promotions, 13% of working caregivers need to change employers due to caregiving demands. (AARP/S&P Global, 2024).The median age of an elder caregiver is 50.6 yo (National Alliance of Caregiving, 2025). These individuals are often among an organization’s most experienced employees. When they leave, they take institutional knowledge, client relationships and leadership capabilities with them.

‍

The replacement cost is only part of the loss on the organization. Providing structured caregiving support, including both a platform and human guidance reduces the mental load employees carry while navigating complex care situations.
