Work Life Balance Remains Elusive as Working Americans Spend 29 Hours Caregiving a Week
MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - September 03, 2015) - Ceridian announces the results of its 2015 Caregiver Research study: Double Duty: The Caregiving Crisis In The Workplace. With more than 22 million Americans serving as working caregivers, the inaugural Ceridian report investigates the role of working caregivers and the personal and professional implications of these responsibilities. Using insight from a survey of more than 1,600 full-time and part-time workers across North America, the demands and effects of caregiving are examined as well as the pressing need for employers to recognize, support and better accommodate these individuals.
For working caregivers in the U.S., consider these facts:
Employers feel the impact of caregiving responsibilities.
Employers could be doing more to support employees with caregiving responsibilities.
Today's working caregivers are looking to their employers for support, guidance and assistance.
"Working caregivers are under enormous personal, professional and financial strain," says Christine Adoni, vice president, Ceridian LifeWorks. "Caregiving impacts not only work and productivity, but also the well-being and health of the caregiver. Providing access to an employee assistance program that offers counseling resources, wellness self-assessments and information on resources available within the caregiver's community is just one way that employers can accommodate the needs of their employees and their families -- engaging their employees and ensuring a productive and healthy workforce at the same time."
