Harold, a valued 10-year employee at your company, has found himself suddenly as part of the “sandwich generation”; taking care of his own young family while also caring for his aging parents. His mother was recently diagnosed with dementia, and his father has his own medical struggles. In an effort to balance his career, his wife and children, and his responsibilities as a caretaker for his parents, he just doesn’t know where to begin.
Why Employees Need Legacy Estate Planning Benefits.
As a business, your employees’ responsibilities don’t stop at the office. When unexpected life events happen, employees often carry this stress into the workplace, and their overall work/life balance becomes overwhelming and unbalanced. Over 73% of employees now juggle work while caring for aging parents, and caregiving employees miss an average of 6–10 additional workdays per year due to emergencies, appointments, and emotional exhaustion. According to TeamSense, the estimated loss of productivity due to unplanned absence reaches almost 40% and almost 50% of overtime in a company is used to cover employee absences.
What if you could offer your employees a benefit that would not only provide them with peace of mind, but a tool that can provide clear guidance during life’s toughest moments?
How To Help Your Employees.
The Guardian’s Gift is more than just an employee perk. It’s a culture of care, responsibility, and compassion that your employees will appreciate and remember for years to come. 75% of employees will provide some type of caregiving during their career. As an employer, considering your employees’ overall well-being shows them that they are valued for more than just their work and helps them to plan for their future.
Imagine these same employees having a documented plan in case of illness, injury or family emergencies. A plan that can effectively reduce their need to miss work, reduce stress, or to help answer the unknowns of emergency situations.
The Guardian’s Gift allows employees to create a documented plan of what should happen, when it should happen, how the plans should go, and who should be involved. It is a structured legacy estate plan that helps to answer the unknowns about the future so when, not if, they happen, there is a guide in place to help navigate any situation. Having a plan in place for the future not only reduces absenteeism but it also offers peace of mind for all parties involved. The next time the phone rings at work with that unexpected call, rest easy knowing that you and your employees have already prepared thanks to The Guardian’s Gift.
