More than one in six working Americans are caring for an aging or disabled family member. Juggling work and caregiving can be daunting, and at times unmanageable. Caregiving employees may feel distracted, stressed and unable to adequately manage their multiple and conflicting responsibilities. Also, employees’ caregiving duties have financial consequences for employers seeking solutions to keep their employees engaged and productive. This web seminar will offer comprehensive perspectives, distilled from the experiences of two major research universities, on successful strategies for implementing sustainable and customized programs that meet the needs of working caregivers.

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:

• Discuss current industry trends and best practices in employer supported eldercare programs;
• Understand the impact of caregiving demands on employees and employers;
• Describe how to make the business case for employer-supported eldercare programs; and,
• Relate case studies of organizations that successfully customized work/life programs to meet the needs of a unique workforce.
