Manhattan workers battle many hurdles during the course of the workday morning.???Crummy traffic conditions, bad-weather delays, elementary school carpool lines, leaky dishwashers, and cranky pets are just of a few of the top reasons for workplace tardiness.
About 20 percent of our workforce is dealing with a caregiving situation and? family caregiving responsibilities can negatively affect workplace morale, job productivity, and employer costs.
Some studies estimate that interruptions from family caregiving demands translate to an annual loss of $33.6 billion for American businesses.
Eldercare, or ?The Silent Productivity Killer?, leads to losses in productivity that arise from:
- Absenteeism
- Workday interruptions
- Replacement of employees
- Inattentiveness to work
- Unpaid leave
- Employees stepping down from full-time to part-time employment
How does the typical employee balance work and family?
- 40 percent of employed caregivers take 17 days of unpaid leave per year to care for a senior family member*.
- 53 percent of family caregivers say caregiving is taking a toll on their job**.
- 62 percent of working family caregivers say they make some sort of workplace accommodation***.
