Articles, Blogs, and Discussions About the Employment Caregiving Crisis in America and Globally

Almost a decade ago, Jeannette Galvanek foresaw the current workforce crisis. She had no way to know there would be a pandemic, but COVID didn’t cause the crisis. While many in the care industry are still working to help caregivers “take more bubble baths to reduce stress,” CareWise Solutions focuses on the core causes of the workforce crisis.

The American caregiving system is simply unsustainable. It’s bad now, but it will worsen over the next three decades (Yes! Decades!) if we do not build an innovative infrastructure to support a new way for employees to work and care more naturally.

Thought Articles on the Employment Caregiving Crisis, Workforce Scarcity, and The Great Resignation

In this section of the CareWise Solutions website, you’ll find thought articles covering a wide range of modern workforce and employment issues. As organizations try to move into the future with industrial age thinking, workers have moved on. The employment “deal” has shifted permanently, and labor is now a “sellers’ market.”

The CareWise Solutions Blog takes a deep dive into the issues facing organizations, our nation, and the world over the next thirty years. Baby Boomers are aging, and the domino effect is the same as it was when they were born. There were not enough schools to educate them, so the government built more schools. There were not enough hospitals to care for them, so the country built more medical facilities and trained more doctors. Now, as they require care to age-in-place, there is no infrastructure, no workforce, and no healthcare system designed for their needs. So, family members step in to fill the void, placing their own careers, health, and other family relationships at risk.
