Corporate Gerontology Services
Eldercare is fast becoming an issue in the workplace.
Annual productivity losses from eldercare are estimated to exceed $29 billion per year nationwide. Corporate gerontology services assist employers and their employees cope with how the role of a caregiver increasingly impacts the workplace.
Often, the caregiver role creates time and financial pressures for employees and leads to missed days, overuse of sick time, stress related illness and loss of upward mobility due to the constraints of being a caregiver. This, in turn, leads to increased time and financial pressures on the employer to train new employees, to overburden other employees to pick up the slack from the absentee employee and the additional expense of overtime to compensate for the absent employee.
With the aging of America, this burden will only increase. Corporate gerontology services can help employers ease this burden by providing their employees with on-site training in caregiver issues and even offering long-term care insurance and a voluntary benefit. Long-term care insurance was the single most desired benefit by employees in the William Mercer Inc. 1998 survey of employee benefit preferences.
The corporate gerontology services offered by Trinity ElderCare Consulting & Management can assist your business in a number of ways including:
- Provide highly interactive and motivational on-site workshops on:
