In this episode of Lincoln Absence Advisor, we talk about one of the key factors — caregiving — behind what’s been called the “Great Resignation” in the American workforce. Our guests are well-versed in this trend, as they are all part of the Lincoln market intelligence team that conducts industry research and analyzes the latest relevant developments. Together, we discuss the effect caregiving demands are having on recruitment and retention and how employers can take proactive steps to address both financial and emotional challenges faced by employees with caregiving responsibilities.
