What Is Corporate Purpose? No, Let Me Rephrase That. What Is a Corporate Purpose Worth Having?
Everyone is talking about purpose these days. Customers and employees are asking about it. Millennials are particularly insistent about seeing evidence of purpose. At FSG, we’re encouraged that companies are thinking and talking about purpose. We have been working with companies to strengthen their CSR and shared value strategies for 20 years, and we have seen how [...]New Bill in Congress Seeks to Close Home Care’s Labor Gaps, Support Caregivers
A bicameral group of U.S. lawmakers is hoping to close home care’s widening labor gap and make the caregiver job more rewarding. Reps. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) and Susie Lee (D-Nev.) introduced the Direct Creation, Advancement and Retention of Employment (CARE) Opportunity Act — H.R. 4397 — on Thursday. In the Senate, they were joined by [...]A Crisis Of Care: As America Gets Older, Who Will Pick Up The Slack?
The older population of the U.S. is skyrocketing, with the number of seniors expected to approximately double in the next few decades – while the population over 85 nearly triples. The aging of the baby-boom generation means millions of job openings for elder care workers, as well as geriatricians, geriatric nurses and other healthcare workers, [...]The unpaid caregiver crisis is landing on employers’ doorsteps

Across every state, from Maine to California, an estimated 18 million individuals provide vital care to older family members who need in-home assistance, yet there are few systematic supports available to assist this critical — and generally hidden — workforce. What makes the lack of systematic supports even more problematic is the fact that family caregivers often provide this [...]Older Americans Act Re-authorization 2019
The Older Americans Act (OAA) connects older adults and their caregivers to services that help older adults age with health, dignity and independence in their homes and communities—where they want to be! In 2019, Congress must reauthorize this vital federal program that serves every community in the country. With the rapid growth of America’s aging [...]Scaling Services to Meet the New Demands of a Changing Family Caregivers Demographic
California is set to see a rapid increase in older adults over the next decade when 20 percent of the population will be over age 65. This population – and their family caregivers - will be more diverse than at any other time in the state’s history. The estimated 4.5 million unpaid family members are [...]10 Ways to Be Inclusive
