Balancing work and caregiving is a reality for 73% of today’s workforce, and if you’re one of them, you know how challenging it can be to care for children, elders, pets, or anyone who relies on you. Maybe you’ve had access to family care benefits before, or seen the difference they’ve made for others.

When that support is missing, it affects more than your day-to-day life; it ripples across your entire organization, impacting productivity, engagement, and retention. By speaking up for family care benefits, you can help spark change that supports everyone — creating a workplace where people and performance can both thrive.

Family care benefits: Support that works for everyone 

Family care benefits are employer-provided programs that help employees balance work and caregiving responsibilities, such as:

• Child care services, including subsidies, back-up care, on-site child care, or school-aged care.
• Senior care and caregiver support resources.
• Pet care, tutoring, or other family support programs.

When organizations invest in family care, everyone wins. These benefits help employees feel supported and stay engaged — and it pays off in long-term performance.
