Employers need to address carers

Employers underestimate how hard it is for staff to balance work and caregiving duties, according to a new study from Harvard Business School researchers. The study found almost three quarters of U.S. workers have some caregiving duties: 32% have left a job because they couldn’t balance both; more than 80% say their caregiving duties prohibit them from optimal work performance; and 28% said caregiving had hurt their careers.
