New research reveals how caregiving stress and lack of support are driving disengagement.

Today’s employees are stretched thin. A new Bright Horizons and Harris Poll report reveals how burnout, caregiving responsibilities, and a lack of personalized benefits are undermining employee well-being, productivity, and retention—especially among working parents and younger generations.

In this report, you'll discover:

  • Why nearly half of employees feel undervalued and how that disconnect is impacting culture and performance
  • How caregiving breakdowns including child care disruptions and elder care gaps are fueling absenteeism, burnout, and turnover
  • Why flexibility, even in hybrid work models, isn’t enough — and what employees really need to feel supported

Download the full report to uncover strategies for building a more resilient, people-centered workplace.
