"It's difficult to take an out-of-town business trip or concentrate on a pressing project when you feel you should be making a phone call or stopping in to check on Mom and Dad." The cost of absenteeism, shortened or interrupted work days, plus the cost of replacing employees who leave due to elder care responsibilities is expected to exceed $29 billion a year. -Washington Post Research has shown that employees spend up to eight hours per week on the phone dealing with eldercare issues. Upon implementation of a resource and referralprogram, these employees reduce time on the phone to less than three hours per week .
