Podcast: Caring for Caregivers and PFML Preparedness

The pandemic has added strain to many who assist with the care of an elderly or disabled family member, relative, or friend. According to Family Caregiver Alliance, more than one in six working Americans act as unpaid caregivers at home,1 making Paid Family and Medical Leave a crucial benefit for today’s workforce. And as several states plan on passing new or updated PFML legislation in the next few years, now is the time to catch up on these topics.

Our latest podcast episode of Last Thing Discussed features Samantha Reed, senior statutory business consultant, and Jessica Bolar, product manager, who dive into why Paid Family and Medical Leave is so important. Host Carolyn McArdle taps into their expertise at The Standard about topics such as how to prepare for PFML changes, supporting caregivers, and tips to keep employees engaged.
