FOR EMPLOYERS · A CAREGIVER BENEFIT THAT DOES THE WORK
Caregiving support you can measure, not just offer.
A caregiver benefit for employees caring for an aging parent. DWEL takes the routine caregiving tasks off their plates, keeps their families informed and measures the difference in a 90-day pilot.

THE COST YOU DON'T SEE
Caregiving doesn't always show up as missed work.
Often, it shows up as a longer workday.

11:15 AMA parent's ride falls throughCalls, rebooking, a text to check it worked.
2:00 PMGroceriesA shopping list to pull together and a delivery to plan.

The work got done. The time wasn't recovered. It was displaced.

WHAT EMPLOYEES REPORT · BASELINE, DAY 30, 60 AND 90

- Work pushed into nights and weekends
- Caregiving-related productivity impact
- Caregiver burden
- Whether work plus caregiving feels sustainable
- Caregiving-related intent to step back or leave
The goal isn't to prove employees like DWEL. It's to find out whether DWEL changes how much caregiving work they carry themselves.
Success criteria are agreed with you before launch. For a stronger read, add a wait-list comparison group.
BENEFITS AND HRPractical support, not another resource.It fills the gap between advice and action, and participation is measured.
OPERATIONSThe work gets done. The question is when.See how much caregiving is pushing work after hours.
FINANCEDon't assume the ROI. Measure it.A pilot puts a number on it with your own people.

We already have an EAP and eldercare benefits.Keep them. Map one real task, like a ride to physical therapy, from request to confirmation. If an employee still arranges it, follows up and informs the family, that's the work DWEL takes on.
Show me the ROI.We won't ask you to assume it. The pilot sets a baseline and measures the change at 30, 60 and 90 days, against criteria you agree to up front.
Will older adults talk to an AI?There's nothing new for them to learn. Chris calls on the schedule the family sets, and they just talk. The pilot tracks how often they engage, so you'll see the real number.
What happens when something goes wrong?DWEL notifies the contacts the family named, in the order they set. If someone tells Chris it's an emergency, Chris tells them to hang up and call 911, and notifies their emergency contacts. DWEL is not an emergency response service. In an emergency, call 911.
Is DWEL a wellness benefit or a productivity investment?Either budget can fund it. DWEL is a caregiver benefit with measurable workforce productivity, tied to a number finance already watches: productive hours.
What will we see about our employees?Aggregate, de-identified results only, such as participation and time saved across the group. Never family conversations or care details.
Is this clinical?No. DWEL handles routine, non-clinical tasks. It sends medication reminders. It does not manage medication.
