Work, with Care: Supporting Women Balancing Work and Care
This project embeds accessible caregiving supports into workplace systems, enabling women caring for aging relatives to remain employed, advance at work, and reduce career disruption.
Nearly 70 percent of working family caregivers - mostly women - experience work disruption while caring for aging relatives, often reducing hours, declining advancement, or exiting the workforce. This initiative integrates Work, with Care - a dynamic digital caregiving platform delivered through employee assistance programs - into employer systems to provide timely guidance, benefits navigation, and connections to services, reducing caregiving stress, strengthening retention, and enabling women to remain and advance at work.
