Why you should join us
The start of a new year invites reflection, renewal, and a chance to rethink how organizations support employees navigating caregiving responsibilities, grief, and mental health challenges. While individuals feel this strain personally, the ripple effects extend across entire teams. When one employee struggles, colleagues often absorb the overflow — in fact, over half of non-parent employees (53%) report taking on extra work when a coworker’s childcare falls through. These invisible pressures impact morale, teamwork, and overall resilience.
Forward-thinking HR and Benefits leaders recognize that supporting caregivers and employees in grief isn’t just compassionate — it strengthens the whole organization. When employees feel understood, supported, and able to care for themselves and their families, they show up more present, engaged, and connected. And when workplaces address the hidden load proactively, it reduces burnout and prevents that strain from being passed along to colleagues.
