Caregiving responsibilities and navigating return-to-work transitions

​Supporting employees beyond the leave: a roadmap for caregiver reintegration

​Join Kim Rohrer, Marion Anderson, Akima Brown, Lori Mihalich-Levin, and Cristina Gutierrez as they talk about returning to work after caregiving leave—whether for a new child, an aging parent, or another family need—is one of the most challenging transitions an employee can face. Yet too often, organizations lack clear guidance or tools to help managers and teams support caregivers well. In this session, we’ll explore how to make return-to-work practices more inclusive and sustainable for caregiving employees across all levels. Participants will leave with a practical Return-to-Work Playbook for Caregivers, including customizable checklists, manager talking points, and policy tips. We’ll also share proven strategies and real-world examples to help shift culture, spark internal conversations, and build more caregiver-friendly workplaces.
