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.

Value beyond the numbers

From increased empathy to improved emotional intelligence,  investing in your caregiving workforce can fundamentally transform your organization for the better. 

For less than you'd think, Caregiven enables mid-market employers to restore employee productivity by 72%.
