Elder Care and Employee Productivity: Win-Win-Win Solutions
Management Seminar
A 21st Century Management Challenge
Today, organizations of all kinds are facing rapid growth in the
numbers and needs of their employees who face the difficulties of
balancing job responsibilities with the responsibility for caring

the U.S. today and their numbers are growing as America ages.
Employers and employees are feeling the cost of elder care/work
conflicts – to the tune of over $10 billion in lost productivity
annually. A significant portion of these losses can be prevented
by taking action now.
