Solving the Caregiving Gap
November 12, 2025 1:00 PM ET
America’s workforce is aging, and caregiving responsibilities are surging. HR professionals face a complex challenge: supporting employees who are caring for children with special needs, spouses with chronic illness, or aging parents with dementia. The demands are intense, and traditional approaches fall short — leaving both employees and organizations at risk.
Join this SHRM-hosted webinar to gain clarity on the realities of workplace caregiving and discover actionable strategies to address this urgent need. We’ll move beyond compliance to focus on practical, human-centered solutions that drive retention, engagement, and organizational resilience.
What You’ll Learn:
- Understanding Diverse Caregiving Needs: Explore the unique challenges of caring for a parent, child, or spouse — and why one-size-fits-all approaches are ineffective.
- The Hidden Impact on Employees: Uncover the emotional and financial toll caregiving takes, with insights from affected workers and emerging workplace trends.
- Innovative Employer Solutions: Discover what progressive organizations are doing to support long-term caregivers, from flexible work arrangements to resource networks and culture shifts.
Key Takeaways:
- A clear understanding of the caregiving gap and its impact on your workforce.
