Eldercare - by Scot Cheben (Paperback)

About the Book

A business guide to supporting employees who are caregivers for aging loved ones. Offers legal context, HR strategies, and practical tools to help companies maintain retention and productivity.

Book Synopsis

In today's multigenerational workforce, supporting employee caregivers isn't just compassionate-it's essential for sustainability and success.

When your employees assume caregiving roles outside of the workplace, it affects staff retention and attention, and therefore, your bottom line. As more and more people live longer and with myriad health limitations, many businesses have failed to keep pace. It's imperative to put proper infrastructure in place to support caregiving employees.

Eldercare: Helping Businesses Support Employees Who Are Caregivers seeks to help employers cope with the complex situations arising for those who need to care for their aging loved ones. It offers practical advice, including:

• Why it is important for businesses to know the facts about caregiving
• The financial effects for employees
• The rules and guidelines of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• How your business can help its employees
• External help and resources

Safeguard employee retention and a healthy workplace culture while ensuring continued profitability by providing resources and benefits to your caregiving employees. Help them manage the overwhelm of balancing caregiving and work, and you will both thrive.
