Title: Caught in the Middle: How HR Can Empower Sandwich Generation Employees

Brief Summary: This session will delve into firsthand insights from employees in the Sandwich Generation—those balancing responsibilities of caring for both children and aging parents—to uncover actionable strategies employers can implement to better support this vital segment of the workforce. Drawing on rich interview data, we’ll explore practical tools and policies that organizations can have at the ready, including effective utilization of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), reimagining an interactive process for use in these circumstances, and refining attendance policies to align with the complex realities these employees face. Join us for an engaging discussion on building a more responsive, inclusive, and supportive workplace culture.
