One in five employees is a family caregiver, and almost no HR function has a number for it. HR for Care is an open initiative to build that number, share what works, and stop treating caregiving as a personal matter that happens to cost the company money.
Mental health has utilization data. Fertility has outcome data. Caregiving has anecdotes, which is why it loses internally to categories that can show a chart. The gap is not conviction among HR leaders, it is evidence.
HR for Care is not a Talos Health product. It is a place for benefits leaders, works councils, brokers and researchers to build shared evidence on the working caregiver, and to publish it in a form that survives contact with a CFO.
You cannot manage a risk that never appears in a report.
A yearly read on working caregivers in the US and France: prevalence, hidden cost, what employers actually offer, and what employees actually use.
HR and benefits leaders comparing what worked, including the pilots that failed. Under Chatham House rule, because that is the only way people are honest.
The survey instrument, the cohort definitions and the analysis are published, so the numbers can be challenged and reused.
Run the barometer survey inside your organization. You get your own cut back, benchmarked against the anonymized set.
Quarterly sessions with other benefits leaders on a specific problem rather than a vendor pitch.
Researchers and clinicians who want to shape the instrument are welcome, and credited.
Bring the conversation to your network, your works council or your broker book.
An initiative run by a vendor is only worth something if the rules are strict and public.
Tell us which market you operate in and how many people you employ, and we will send the current instrument.
