Squeezed From All Sides: How to Support Employees in the Sandwich Generation

The sandwich generation is growing—and reshaping your workforce. Nearly 1 in 3 caregivers supports both kids and aging parents, often without systems to support them. The result is burnout and disengagement. Discover five simple ways to support the whole family.

Guide

Many organizations technically “cover” caregiving, but coverage alone isn’t enough. Support often focuses only on the individual employee, lacks care navigation, or is difficult to access when it matters most.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • Why sandwich generation caregivers are a growing workforce risk—and opportunity
  • How caregiving strain impacts engagement, performance, and retention
  • Five practical ways to better support employees without adding complexity
  • How coordinated, family-centered mental health support helps reduce strain and business impact
