# It’s Time For Disruption: Why Caregiving and Backup Care Programs Are Breaking Down Recorded: April 2, 2026 Webinar Length: 1hr Many employees dealing with caregiving challenges never ask for help. They adjust schedules, miss meetings, or quietly take unplanned time off until those disruptions become performance or retention issues. This fireside chat explores why Backup Care, while widely offered and essential for working caregivers, is often underused or misunderstood. Through a story-driven conversation, speakers will look at how care breaks down in real life, the barriers that limit access, and how employers are moving from reactive models to proactive support employees can rely on beyond emergencies. HR and benefits leaders will leave better equipped to identify where Backup Care breaks down in their own organization, and what changes can prevent quiet caregiving disruptions from turning into attrition. ## Meet the speakers **Jess Brown** VP of Marketing, Cariloop Hosted by Watch Now First Name* Last Name* Work Email* Job Title* Company Name* Company Location* - Please Select Canada Other Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming American Samoa District of Columbia Guam Northern Mariana Islands U.S. Virgin Islands Puerto Rico Number of Employees - Please Select < 50 50 - 99 100 - 999 1,000 - 9,999 10,000 - 24,999 25,000+
