The survey is packed with information that can help you shape your employee benefit program.

It provides a great deal of insight into absenteeism caused by eldercare, childcare and stress. It shows the impact that age, gender, occupation, income and dependents have on the attendance of your staff. On average, employees spend an hour of their workweek dealing with eldercare responsibilities. The number will continue to rise as the parents of baby boomers age.

The report explores methods of providing information and services that reduce the time employees spend on eldercare. It also rates employee perception of the following methods of reducing stress: counselling; open communication; time off; education; fitness; supportive management; flexible hours; lighter workloads and employee assistance programs.

Please let me know if you require assistance applying the results of the survey to your employee benefit program.
