Supporting Working Caregivers with Lisa Leighton

In HRchat episode 702, we consider colleagues who double up as caregivers and ways we can support them.Joseph Fuller's research suggested that 73% of employees are currently juggling caregiving responsibilities in some capacity. However, due to a lack of tracking by employers, the necessary support infrastructure for caregivers is often not available. The result? Each family is left to build its caregiving support system from scratch. This inefficiency and sense of isolation result in massive losses of around $35 billion annually for U.S. businesses due to the failure to adequately support and retain these vital workers! Bill Banham's guest this time is Lisa Leighton, Vice President of Strategic Development at CariloopLisa leads new business acquisition and growth strategy, working with employers and partners to extend Cariloop's reach to more employees and their families. She joined the company with more than 20 years in the employee experience industry, partnering with Fortune 500 companies to create HR and Benefits programs and experiences designed to drive attraction and retention.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.
