Caregiving at Work: A Growing Challenge
for Employers and Employees

Please join the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) and Greenwald Research for a timely webinar on Caregiving at Work, a new multiyear research and education initiative focused on building objective, evidence-based insights about caregiving’s impact on workers, families, employers, and retirement security.

Caregiving is becoming one of the most important work force issues facing employers today. Millions of workers across the United States are balancing jobs with caregiving responsibilities, creating challenges that affect work force participation, employee well-being, productivity, benefits engagement, and long-term financial security.

During this inaugural webinar, EBRI, Greenwald Research, and initiative partners will discuss why caregiving has become a critical work force and business issue, how it is affecting employees and employers, and why better research and cross-sector collaboration are needed to support working caregivers.

The webinar will cover:

• Why caregiving is becoming an increasingly significant work force and benefits challenge.
• How caregiving can affect employees, families, employers, and long-term financial security.
• The vision, goals, and roadmap for the Caregiving at Work initiative.
• Key questions the initiative will examine through future research, surveys, and convenings.
• Perspectives from leading organizations working to support caregivers and working families.
• Opportunities for collaboration and engagement across sectors.

The program will feature representatives from EBRI, Greenwald Research, Bright Horizons, Wellthy and CareScout, who will discuss caregiving challenges, workplace support strategies, and the role research can play in advancing better outcomes for caregivers, families, employers, and society.

Whether you are an employer, benefits professional, researcher, policymaker, service provider, or advocate, this discussion will provide timely perspective on one of today’s most significant work force challenges.

Date: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
