Caregiving at Work Forum
October 22, 2026 | NAHB | Washington, DC

Employers are increasingly recognizing that caregiving is not just a personal issue — it is a workforce, benefits, and business issue. The Caregiving at Work Forum will bring together employers, HR and benefits leaders, consultants, brokers, researchers, and solution providers to explore practical strategies for supporting working caregivers while strengthening workforce engagement, productivity, and retention.

Grounded in EBRI’s “research to impact” approach, the forum will focus on actionable insights at the intersection of caregiving, workplace benefits, health, retirement security, and workforce participation. Sessions will examine how caregiving affects employees across life stages and how organizations can design programs, policies, and benefit strategies that better support caregivers and their families.

The program will combine evidence-based research with employer experiences and real-world implementation examples, highlighting both the human impact of caregiving and the measurable business value of caregiver support initiatives. Discussions will address emerging trends, innovative benefit solutions, communication strategies, and opportunities for employers to create more supportive and sustainable workplaces.

Designed for employer and HR decision-makers, benefits influencers, consultants, and industry partners, the forum will create opportunities for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and practical problem-solving around one of today’s most pressing workforce challenges.
