The Business Case for Supporting Care Givers in the Workplace

With the prevailing mentality that workers should “leave life at the door”, it’s no wonder that the struggle to balance the demands of family and career has only gotten more difficult. This is especially true for employees who care for others such as children, elderly parents, and family members at home who are sick or have disabilities. According to the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), Caregivers are the fastest-growing workplace identity group, making up 73% of the workforce. Employer support of this population will be crucial to remain competitive in attracting, engaging and retaining top talent.
 
 In this final episode of season 2 of "HR Fresh Take", we’ll talk with TC Riley, Senior Director of Data & Analytics at Cariloop; a digital platform that helps families manage their loved one's care needs by connecting them to an employer-sponsored caregiver support platform.  Also joining the conversation is Philly SHRM Chapter President Catherine Priem who’s passion for employer support of caregivers in the workforce is the catalyst for this topic. Your host for this episode is podcast producer, Theresa Velykis.
