People & Culture Session
Caregivers are often excluded from talent metrics, yet groundbreaking research from the Rutgers Center for Women in Business (CWIB) reveals their strategic value. This session explores how caregiving strengthens humanity, productivity, and “cognitivity” — the emotional and mental work that shapes and sustains company culture. Learn how valuing the caregiver experience leads to better overall retention, profitability, and performance.  Rethink how inclusive, high-performing workplaces can unlock the full potential of caregiver talent.
