You care about your employees; help them care for themselves and others

• Using breaks as intended

  For every article within Caregiven that is curated from trusted experts and service providers, we save our users more than 10 hours of web search time. Peak search times usually occur on Thursdays during the lunch hour, as employees begin anticipating their weekend caregiving commitments. Caregiven enables employees to quickly find what they need so they can spend more time recharging themselves by stepping away from their screens, taking a walk or enjoying a midday meal.

• Self-advocacy & improved communication

  Caregiven guides employees to better understand their benefits and provides suggestions on how to approach their supervisors honestly and openly about their personal circumstances. As a result, employees can experience less miscommunication or misinterpretation issues among supervisors and colleagues.

• Help not just offered, but accepted

  Research has indicated that co-workers and managers are amongst the first to recognize that an employee/colleague is experiencing a life challenge. There is often a desire from those at work to help – meal trains and leave donations are just two examples. Caregiven provides users with suggestions on how to ask for, and accept, the help they need not only from their teammates, but from the broader community as well.

• Private and secure

  Let’s face it, the taboo of caregiving means that many employees won’t readily admit they are a caregiver for fear of judgment. Today, caring for another adult holds a similar stigma that pregnant women faced decades ago, which often means some employees won’t utilize the benefits that are available to them. Caregiven is offered to all your employees directly, so they can sign-up using their personal contact information and keep their personal circumstances private. This gives them peace-of-mind about their anonymity and provides you the confidence that your employees are receiving workplace support.

• I only have five employees. Does Caregiven make sense for smaller companies?

  The national average shows that one out of every five employees is providing some form of care to another adult, and that number is projected to increase to one in three by the end of the decade. If supporting one employee through this challenging time is important to you, then it makes sense to offer Caregiven as part of your employee benefits package.

• Is there an employer customer service representative I can talk to after our company signs up for Caregiven?

  Absolutely! The Caregiven team is happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. They are also eager to collaborate with you to help normalize the impact that caregiving has on individuals, co-workers and companies through relevant content, webinars, Employee Resource Group materials, and workshops tailored to your company’s needs.

• Are any monthly or annual reports/metrics provided that show how Caregiven is working for our employees?

  Caregiven aggregates usage data for each employer who has five or more employees and can provide monthly, quarterly or annual reports at your request. You will receive this information through your Delta Dental of Iowa account manager or directly from Caregiven. For organizations with four or fewer employees, we provide relevant usage reports to validate the investment in the product. Caregiven anonymizes all data to protect the privacy of our users.

• Is there a certain term our company would be obligated to maintain Caregiven as a benefit?

  To simplify billing and account management, Caregiven participates in Delta Dental of Iowa’s contract and renewal process that requires a 60-day notice of cancellation.
