A fifth of professionals in the country are working and taking care of both their kids as well as an older family member. And it’s not just women – men are increasingly likely to be caught in double or triple duty, and missing work or taking leaves as a result. As a result, employers are now more increasingly aware of the need to attract and retain workers and the need to adjust corporate Human resource strategies. Companies realize that by introducing flexible working hours, compressed work weeks, workplace seminars and more employee assistance programs will assist with this phenomenal trend in what is called the “Sandwich Generation”. Caregivers are more likely to be absent from work, use company benefits and turn down promotions. They’re also more likely to experience a drop in productivity and a decline in the number of hours they can dedicate to work. And as employers take note – demographics of an aging population and delayed parenthood suggest the challenge is only going to grow. More boomers and Generation Xers are likely to fall into the sandwich generation as they delay parenthood and their parents live longer. And with smaller family sizes, there are now fewer family members to share the responsibilities of caring for an older parent, aunt, neighbour or in-law. As a result, employees in the sandwich generation are getting worn down by the demands on their time and lack the resilience to emotionally separate the work-life domains. Here, by the numbers, are some of a recent Desjardin study’s findings “Balancing work, childcare and eldercare: A view from the trenches,” . It focuses on highly-educated managers and professionals, particularly those at larger firms, and is based on a national survey of work-life balance of 25,021 employees. It was conducted in 2011 and 2012. Of those, almost 8,000 responded to questions about caregiving, of which researchers conducted 111 follow-up phone interviews: •20 per cent: Proportion of employed women and 17 per cent of men in the large survey which are part of the sandwich generation of Canadians. •40 per cent: Portion of workers in the overall survey who report high levels of overload – both at work and at home. •25 to 30 per cent: Portion of caregivers who cope with the pressures of work and family by bringing work home, giving up on sleep and trimming social activities on a daily basis – a response which raises the chance of employee burnout (and grumpy workers). •20 per cent: Portion of male and female employees who are caregivers who turn down promotions because their plate is too full. •63 per cent: Portion of caregivers who report emotional consequences of juggling work and looking after family, which includes stress, anxiety and depression At DirectIN Health, we partner with benefit providers and employers to develop wellness solutions to address challenges in the workplace and create a healthy life/work balance. By creating smart, practical solutions and providing additional added value resources and materials to employees- such as advance care planning, transitional planning upon retirement and senior service solutions -we help minimize absenteeism, improve productivity and eliminate stress and anxiety when employees are faced with crisis with an aging loved one in addition to creating a care plan for their future as well.
