What we do
Upward Care partners with employers to provide customized caregiver support benefits that reduce employee stress, absenteeism, and turnover.
Nearly one in four employees is balancing a full-time job while caring for a loved one. Without meaningful support, caregiving responsibilities often lead to burnout, increased absences, and lost productivity.
Our programs give employees access to:
-
Employer-specific education, support groups and webinars
-
Expert Caregiver asssment, planning and resource mapping
-
On-demand caregiver support tools and materials
For employers, the impact is clear: a healthier, more engaged workforce, improved retention, and fewer FMLA claims—without adding administrative burden.
Why It Matters
25% of your Employees are actively caring for a loved one
70% of working caregivers report impact on job performance
Estimated $44 billion annually in lost productivity due to caregiving-related absenteeism and turnover
"Upward Care has been a game-changer for our team. We knew many of our employees were caring for loved ones, but we didn’t realize how much it was impacting their stress and productivity until we offered this benefit. Since launching the program, we’ve seen stronger employee engagement, fewer absences, and a lot of gratitude from staff who feel supported at work."
