LibbiCare · For companies

The hidden cost of caregiving inside your company

Corporate benefits have focused on mental health and childcare. But the population is aging at an unprecedented rate: by 2028 there will be more seniors than children. Hardly any company is taking charge of this change.

The impact of caregiving

In the U.S., 1 in 5 employees cares for an older family member. In Spain, 6 out of 10 adult children of a dependent older adult are working. The trend is growing worldwide and translates into worse physical and mental health, and poorer job performance.

What does this mean in money*?

USD 17.1 - 33.6 billion/year
From lower productivity, higher absenteeism, presenteeism, replacements and loss of talent
8% more to the employer  = USD 13.4B/year/country
From additional health costs associated with caregiving employees

What it is

A wellbeing program for caregiving employees, with data for your People team

LibbiCare helps your organization understand, at an aggregate level, how much caregiving load exists in your team and reduce its impact on absenteeism, turnover and productivity. You never access individual employee data — only aggregated, anonymous metrics.

Pilot

Let's talk about a pilot for your company

We are in the pilot stage in Chile, where there is still no local data on the impact of elderly caregiving in the workplace. LibbiCare aims to fill that gap and create value for your company. Not based in Chile? We are an international startup, and we'd love to talk about bringing LibbiCare to your market. Leave your details, and we'll book a 30-minute conversation with your People team.
