Pages 395-405 | Published online: 03 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

Current family caregiving actions and trends in the provision of care to older relatives are reviewed with regard to their impact on employed caregivers’ productivity in the workplace and on their personal well‐being. Several private employee assistance programs and the supportive services they offer to help employees with elder care commitments are then described. Finally, guidelines and considerations that have been cited in the literature as constructive ways to develop and manage elder care programs in the workplace are offered to serve as a guide for gerontologists in shaping the development of corporate responses to the needs of employees caring for older relatives.
