A fresh start for your team
A new year brings fresh energy and ambitious goals—but for many employees, caregiving responsibilities don’t reset on January 1. Whether it’s an aging parent who needs extra care, finding a trusted sitter for a pet, or simply managing their own well-being, your team is balancing more than just their workload.
That stress doesn’t stay at home. It follows them to the office, into meetings, and onto deadlines, impacting focus, productivity, and morale. Employers who recognize this—and take action—have an opportunity to create a workplace where employees feel supported and ready to thrive.
The hidden cost of caregiving stress
Caregiving is an invisible yet heavy load for most of your workforce. Most employees in the U.S. have some level of caregiving responsibility. And it’s not just parents—it’s people managing care for an aging parent, pet care, and even their own health. Without the right support, that stress leads to missed work, disengagement, and, ultimately, turnover. Consider these numbers:
- 66% of working parents are experiencing burnout
- 63% of parents say that they have made career changes to afford child care
- Replacing a single employee costs organizations up to 2X the employee’s salary
For organizations, caregiving challenges don’t just disrupt individual employees—they ripple across teams and impact your bottom line.

Why caregiving benefits matter in 2025
In a competitive talent market, offering caregiving benefits is more than just an act of compassion—it’s a strategic investment in your workforce. Employees who feel seen and supported are more likely to stay, engage, and contribute at a higher level. And as regulatory focus on workplace caregiving intensifies, these benefits can also help you stay ahead of the curve.
It’s not just about reducing absences or improving retention (though those are great outcomes). It’s about building a culture where employees feel valued as whole people—not just for the work they do.
