HR Guide - When Caregiving Comes to Work

Content Summary

Caregiving is no longer a personal issue happening outside of work. It is already impacting attendance, engagement, equity, and retention across today’s workforce.

When Caregiving Comes to Work: 2026 Edition is a practical guide for HR and benefits leaders navigating the growing reality of employees caring for aging parents and loved ones. Drawing on workforce data and real caregiving dynamics, this whitepaper explores why elder care is fundamentally different from other benefits challenges, how unsupported caregiving quietly drives burnout and attrition, and what employees actually need to stay productive at work.

The guide outlines how employers can move beyond fragmented resources and reactive policies toward a more cohesive, human-centered approach to supporting working caregivers. It also introduces Arlow, a centralized caregiving app that brings critical aging support into one place, helping employees manage the day-to-day complexity of care while reducing strain on teams and organizations.

Designed for HR leaders who want to improve retention, reduce burnout, and build a more resilient workforce, this whitepaper offers clear insights and actionable next steps for supporting caregiving as a core workforce issue.
