Employer costs for full-time caregiving employees are now a staggering $33.6 billion

Only one-third of large employers offer eldercare programs. Corporations will face further losses if eldercare is ignored."

-- MetLife Mature Market Institute and National Alliance of Caregiving, 2006

Caregiving has associated costs, and they are not just measured in productivity or absenteeism. For most caregivers, the cost is financial, physical and emotional. How can businesses respond to these present-day needs while fostering loyal, productive work forces?

"It costs business and industry about $3.3 billion a year to replace women who quit jobs to provide elder care, according to another MetLife report. Absenteeism among women caregivers costs about $270 million."

-- MetLife


GeriScan President Susan Scanland can help. Susan has nearly 25 years of experience in dealing with the clinical side of caregiving, yet she also has the same level of experience in listening to friends and family members who are in this common situation. For the past two years, she has presented nearly 50 caregiver programs across the United States.

What can businesses do to demonstrate empathy for employees? Foster support for a difficult situation? Offer resources to ease the burden? As a consultant or speaker, Susan can provide the answers by leading seminars or customized, on-site consultation as a resource available to employee assistance programs.
