The Need for Caregiving Benefits
The need for caregiving benefits may have reached a fever pitch, with working women "sandwiched" between child and parent caregiving.
HR leaders can offer flexibility and special paid leave, among other benefits, experts said. According to an October 2025 report, workplace experts are championing the well-being of "the sandwich generation", a phrase which typically refers to workers who care for both children and parents.
- A Leave Management Report from Aon company NFP found that only 30% of employers offer family caregiver leave.
- Mostly, that’s employers offering less than three weeks of pay.
"The constant pull between work, childcare and eldercare can be overwhelming for the sandwich generation, especially women,"
said Maria Trapenasso, head of Human Capital Solutions at NFP. This has increasingly led workers to use their PTO for caregiving demands, researchers from NFP said.
