The PHRA Annual Conference provides proven, comprehensive learning that boosts professional and personal potential whether you are new to the HR profession, hoping to supplement your workplace experience with strategic and tactical education, or seeking to increase your competencies for career growth.

At this year’s conference, Senior Assistance’s very own Jeff Weinberg, M.Ed, M.Ph, NHA, will be speaking in a breakout session on September 30th, from 11am-12:15pm at the Doubletree by Hilton Greentree in Pittsburgh on The Need for Corporate Eldercare Programs: A Win Win for both the company and the employee. If you own a company, this effects you.

Almost one-third of the adults working full or part time, report assisting with the care of an elderly or disabled family member (Gallup Heathway’s Wellbeing Survey). Seventy percent of the working caregivers have reported work related difficulties due to their caregiving roles. This has caused employees loss of wages, retirement savings and increased stress. The impact on employers is increased absenteeism, tardiness, presentism, leaves of absence, and higher health insurance costs, due to employees needing more healthcare services, as a result of the tremendous stress they experience.

This presentation will provide an in-depth overview of these problems, discuss types of Corporate Elder Care Programs throughout the country and present the Caregiver Champion Program, which we have developed for the working family caregiver.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn the Need for Corporate Eldercare Programs
• Learn the current Corporate Eldercare Programs implemented by corporations throughout the country
• Learn about the Caregiver Champion Program
