EBRI Press Release

June 2, 2026

Summary

The Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) and Greenwald Research today announced the launch of Caregiving at Work, a national, multiyear initiative designed to examine how family caregiving is affecting workers, employers and the employee benefits system. Building on EBRI’s ongoing collaboration with Greenwald Research, the initiative will run through 2027 and combine new survey research, employer-focused resources and events to help organizations better understand and respond to caregiving-related pressures across the U.S. workforce. Caregiving at Work examines how caregiving shapes workers’ experiences with workplace benefits — and what it takes to keep caregivers connected to work.
