Beyond Leave and Flexible Hours: Holistic Support for Employee Caregivers

While offering additional leave and flexible work arrangements is a good first step, it fails to fully address the time and effort employee caregivers dedicate to managing their caring responsibilities. Agewhale’s comprehensive care concierge services help alleviate logistical and administrative burdens, enabling caregivers to save time, reduce stress, and enhance their work-life balance.

Our care consultants begin by conducting thorough assessments to understand the unique circumstances of each family. Then, we develop personalized care plans and assist in researching, comparing, and coordinating a wide array of services to save caregivers valuable time. Our continuous support through regular check-ins and plan adjustments ensures that evolving needs are consistently met.

Participants in Agewhale’s pilot program reported a decrease in caregiving stress, and we achieved a net promoter score of 57. When asked how integrating Agewhale’s service into their employee benefits would benefit them at work, 80% expressed confidence in attaining greater happiness and work-life balance with our support. Additionally, two-thirds expect an improvement in focus and productivity and a reduction in care-related absences.

The feedback from Agewhale’s pilot program aligns with a study by Harvard Business School (Fuller, 2024) on caregiving benefits. Two-thirds of participants observed significant boosts in job engagement and overall satisfaction due to access to care benefits, while 30% stated that such benefits help prevent leaves of absence. Companies also experienced a 5% decrease in turnover.

For businesses interested in tangible benefits, we encourage you to reach out to Agewhale to discover how our services can support your employees and business objectives. Let us be your partner in building a productive, inclusive, and supportive workplace for long-term sustainability.
