The Caregiving Crisis:
… Costs companies real money in terms of employee turnover, productivity, and higher healthcare costs (US$68 million annually, and rising rapidly)
... Impacts a naturally diverse workforce population without prejudice (including aged 24~40 Millennials, who now represent one-quarter of all caregivers of aging adults)
… Results in documented negative impacts on caregivers' emotional, physical, and financial health
... Is not going away, driven by rapid aging trends and overwhelmed healthcare systems
... Is an opportunity to take a leadership role, not only in your company but in the communities in which your business operates
