​​​
​​Many employers lean into outdated policies, ignoring the technological advances, economic realities, the state of our healthcare system, and business advantages. ​Caregivers often face employment discrimination, lost wages, and isolation - while simultaneously managing the care for a loved one.
​​​​​​
Professionals Who Cares believes that a workplace designed with greater flexibility and support is good for business. Caregivers have the skills and traits to make them ideal employees & optimal leaders. It is proven that policies that are inclusive of caregivers improve recruitment, retention, and morale for all employees.

What does Professionals Who Care believe?
​
An inclusive workplace is a key factor in the outcome for caregivers.
It has major effects on caregivers' financial, social, physical, and mental health.
And the research is clear. A workplace inclusive of caregivers is also a smart business plan. Caregivers - through hardships and heartbreak - have deeply developed the core competencies for effective leadership, strong teamwork, and resilient attitudes.
Inclusivity also allows organizations to attract and retain the best talent.
The converse is also true.
Organizations who ignore or discourage caregivers experience
financial loss and weakened competitive edge.
Professionals Who Care focuses on
advocating for caregivers in the workplace - an invisible and growing crisis,
supporting caregivers, whose normally give more care than they receive, and
changing our world to realize the possibilities in caregiver inclusivity and the #FutureOfWork.
​​​
We are the first organization in the United States solely committed
to the intersection of caregivers and work.
