In this episode of There for Care, host Amy Rein is joined by Melissa Hagerman, Executive VP and Chief Human Resources Officer at Genworth, to explore a critical but often overlooked topic: how caregiving impacts the workplace.

Melissa shares personal insights from her own caregiving journey, watching her father care for her mother with Alzheimer’s, and how that experience shaped her approach to leadership and workplace empathy. Together, she and Amy dive into what companies can do to better support the growing number of employees balancing full-time jobs with caregiving responsibilities.

Employers will learn the importance of creating a culture of psychological safety, offering holistic support (financial, emotional, and physical), and developing inclusive benefit programs. Meanwhile, current or future employees will gain practical advice on what to look for in an employer, how to advocate for their needs, and why open conversations about caregiving are more essential than ever.

Whether you're a caregiver, team leader, or just starting to think about how caregiving might affect your future, this episode offers real-world strategies and a deeply human perspective.
