The Society For Human Resources Management (SHRM) finds that more than 75% of employers note caregiving benefits will become more important for their companies in the next five years when it comes to older parents or sick family members.
Deloitte offers 16 weeks of paid-time off yearly for a host of caregiving responsibilities, including caring for an sick sibling and for older parents. Adobe gives its employees up to four weeks of paid-time to care for sick family members.
"Employees need to be able to care for themselves and their families at home before they can be their best at work," says Rosemary Arriada-Keiper, vice president of Global Rewards at Adobe.
