Podcast: Caring for Caregivers and PFML Preparedness

According to Family Caregiver Alliance, more than one in six working Americans act as unpaid caregivers at home,1 making Paid Family and Medical Leave a crucial benefit for today’s workforce. The pandemic has added even more strain to employees who assist with the care of an elderly or disabled family member, relative, or friend. As several states plan on passing new or updated PFML legislation in the next few years, it’s a good time to catch your clients up on the latest PFML topics.

These experts discuss why Paid Family and Medical Leave is so important to your clients’ workforces and how they can prepare for upcoming PFML changes.
