Harvard Business Review: Your Company Needs an Eldercare Policy
The Harvard Business Review has published an article, "Your Company Needs an Eldercare Policy," authored by Age Wave's Ken Dychtwald, Robert Morison and Katy Terveer and JAHF's Terry Fulmer.
The article highlights the significant and growing challenge of eldercare for the modern workforce, noting that more employees now care for older adults than for children. It argues that companies must provide comprehensive eldercare support, including education, financial assistance, flexible work arrangements and personal support, to improve employee productivity, retention, recruitment and diversity.
The authors showcase examples of leading companies like Bank of America, AbbVie and Microsoft that are already implementing robust eldercare benefits. The article concludes by urging leaders to recognize the diverse needs of caregivers, enlist organizational support, and lead by example in addressing this critical issue.
