Services for Employers
Elderwerks helps employers improve the workplace bottom-line. On average 13% of your best employees are struggling to cope with the demands of caring for an elderly loved one. Our Senior Care Consultants have helped thousands of "working caregivers" keep focused at work while we coordinated the eldercare research needs for them.
American businesses can lose as much as $34 billion each year due to employees' need to care for loved ones 50 years of age and older.1 Employees working under stressful family situations are more prone to personal illness, report late to work or leave early (49%); take leave (11%); drop to part-time (7%); many have lost job benefits (4%); or have choosen early retirement (10%) and/or give up work entirely (6%). 2.
