The holidays are one of the most stressful times of year for caregiving employees, and the ripple effects hit your workforce hard. Between financial pressure, loneliness, disrupted routines, and escalating care needs, even your most resilient employees can hit a breaking point. And for the one in four “Sandwich Generation” workers caring for both children and aging parents, seasonal stress can turn into full-blown burnout without the right support.
This session is your playbook for protecting caregivers—and your workplace—from year-end burnout. We’ll break down the early warning signs you can’t afford to miss, reveal how holiday-driven stressors deepen existing risks, and show you how integrated support can lift the burden on overwhelmed employees.
You’ll learn how to:
Identify burnout early: Spot the signals before caregivers hit a breaking point.
Protect workforce performance: Understand the link between caregiving strain, absenteeism, turnover, and productivity.
Deliver seamless support: Use integrated solutions, including warm transfers between partners like Wellthy and Lyra via Lyra Link, to make benefits easier to navigate.
You’ll leave with strategies to turn your benefits ecosystem into a coordinated, year-end safety net that helps your caregiving employees finish the year strong.
