Services to Support Employees Who Are Caregivers



More than 7 in 10 employees are also caregivers: raising children, supporting loved ones with disabilities, caring for aging parents, or navigating the sandwich generation (raising children and caring for elderly parents). Many silently balance work demands with caregiving responsibilities, which fuels burnout, absenteeism, and turnover.

Chef Maria offers a range of services to help organizations uncover hidden caregiver stress, boost retention, and build inclusive, supportive workplaces. Explore the options below to find the best fit for your workforce or event
