responsibilities, on top of work obligations, can escalate burnout and force employees to choose between work and family. Caregiving benefits can enable employees to focus on work beacause they know their loved ones are being cared for. These benefits might include subsidies or reimbursements for caregiving services, like day care or elder care. They could also include educational classes on caregiving or counseling services for caregivers. Regardless of the caregiving offerings, employers should first survey employees and determine which benefits would be most useful to them. Instead of subsidies, employees may just need more time off. 8
