It’s Time For Disruption: Why Caregiving and Backup Care Programs Are Breaking Down

Many employees dealing with caregiving challenges never ask for help. They adjust schedules, miss meetings, or quietly take unplanned time off until those disruptions become performance or retention issues.

This fireside chat explores why Backup Care, while widely offered and essential for working caregivers, is often underused or misunderstood. Through a story-driven conversation, speakers will look at how care breaks down in real life, the barriers that limit access, and how employers are moving from reactive models to proactive support employees can rely on beyond emergencies.

HR and benefits leaders will leave better equipped to identify where Backup Care breaks down in their own organization, and what changes can prevent quiet caregiving disruptions from turning into attrition.
