Employer Caregiving Workshops

AARP Employer Caregiving Program Series

Learn how making your workplace more caregiver-friendly can help reduce employee turnover and boost your bottom line.

AARP is bringing you live, virtual programs you can use to help employees balance their work and caregiving.

Why host a program series?

AARP estimates that 1 in 6 people in your workplace are providing part-time care for an adult. Over half don’t tell their supervisors about it, but all of them need to feel supported and included in your workplace. The AARP Employer Caregiving Program Series aims to prepare your colleagues to thrive both at work and in their caregiving roles.

Who can host it?

Anyone who can gather a group of 30 or more employees. Often these are employee resource group (ERG) leaders or program managers, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) leaders, managers leading teams, internal conference/event planners or senior leaders who want to message that they value a caregiver-inclusive culture.

How many people can join?

As many as your virtual meeting platform allows. We’ve run programs with 30–300 registrants across time zones.

Is there a cost?

No, AARP is currently providing these programs at no cost if booked by June 30, 2024. Program delivery dates for these series can extend through March 2025.

How can I host?

Just choose a topic (or topics) listed below and gather your team virtually. We’ll gather the Guest Expert and all the content, tools and resources.

Choose a single workshop or a series of 3–5 programs.

Each topic is designed as a 60-minute program. Email us to confirm the topics from the list below and the dates that you're interested in, or if you would like our help packaging a series of programs from the topics we offer.

Invite your employees.

You can use these program descriptions in your invitations. Provide them with a link to the virtual meeting platform you’ll use to host.

Share the resources with your team.
