Summer prep can feel like a full-time job. Gen Z: negotiates Summer Fridays with one confident calendar block. Millennials: sets a 5:55am alarm in January to secure a summer camp spot before the waitlist fills up. Sandwich Generation: ready for the beach fully equipped — towels, SPF, the works — only for their 76-year-old dad to show up in jeans. Which one are you heading into this season? 👇 PS: The “Sandwich Generation” refers to those who are “sandwiched” between caring for both their child(ren) and aging loved ones, usually their parent(s). If you’re in it, we’re with you and here to help.

Just the peace of mind that the pets you love are taken care of. That's what great benefits actually look like in real life. When it's not Div, it's Care.com 💚

Caregiving doesn’t follow a schedule, and for so many people, it’s part of every workday. It’s more common than we talk about. In fact, 52% of employees are part of the sandwich generation or will be in the future—caring for both a child and an aging loved one. Maybe it’s time we normalize it. The 2026 Future of Benefits Report takes a closer look at what this really means—and how workplaces can better support the people carrying it all. ➡️ Read more about the report here: https://bit.ly/4dM6Xkl

💸 Care is expensive…really expensive. The average parent is spending 20% or more of their annual income on child care and an additional 17% on caregiving to support seniors, pets, and housekeeping. No wonder support is top of mind. 📥 See how employers can help offset the burden: https://lnkd.in/dAPEqBQt

If this definition hit a little too close to home, you're not alone. 🫶 52% of workers are part of the sandwich generation — juggling child and senior care at the same time, often without enough support to catch their breath. You deserve a break. We can help with that.

🏢 Return-to-office is back, but so are caregiving challenges. Among employees returning to work: • 50% say child care benefits are critical • 55% say senior care benefits are critical Support isn’t a perk; it’s what makes work possible.

When it's your own parent, the stakes feel completely different. Jennifer Ross needed to find a caregiver for her elderly parents in rural upstate New York, and wasn’t sure it was even possible in their (very) small town. Stories like Jennifer's are exactly why Care Benefits matter. Our 2026 Future of Benefits Report found that 81% of employees are experiencing high or moderate caregiving-related stress, yet so many are still navigating it alone. Having the right support changes everything: for your team, for their families, and for their ability to show up at work. When it's not Jennifer, it's Care.com 💚
