Key findings indicate:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nPaid time off to care for a loved one is the top desired caregiving benefit across all employee demographics surveyed. However, only about half of employers (52%) currently offer paid caregiving leave.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nThe types of paid leave programs most frequently offered by employers include parental (89%), military (55%), caregiving (52%) and pregnancy loss (51%).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n63% of companies say they offer employer-paid leave programs, yet one-third of employees say they needed to take an official family or medical leave of at least four days but did not do so. The greatest barrier for these employees is affordability (37%), followed by the fear of the stigma that their employer will think poorly of them (33%), worries that it may affect their career advancement (26%), and not wanting to leave coworkers with the workload (26%).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nWhile 69% of employers recognize the positive impact offering paid leave has on their business, they still have hesitations. These include a fear of policy abuse (42%) and the belief that employee needs are met by unpaid leave (36%) or short-term disability coverage (30%).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cCaregiving isn\u2019t a niche issue \u2014 it\u2019s a workplace reality,\u201d says Michael Estep, president, Prudential Group Insurance. \u201cEmployees across every demographic are asking for paid leave, and employers who don\u2019t respond risk losing talent. Embracing paid leave as an essential benefit that supports the well-being of caregivers in the workforce can be a powerful strategy to attract and retain talented workers, while also supporting them in ways that can boost satisfaction, loyalty and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe study also highlighted feedback employers received from employees regarding paid leave programs. Employees expressed desires for additional reasons to take a paid leave (31%), additional services not currently offered (30%), and better understanding of their program (30%). This feedback presents an opportunity for employers to better align their programs with employee needs.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBeyond offering paid leave benefits, employers can foster a broader understanding of how to use the benefit and reduce any stigma around utilizing them through consistent, clear and supportive communications,\u201d adds Mark Devine, head of Life, Absence &amp; Disability Products in Prudential Group Insurance.<\/p>\n<p>\nNavigating the complexities of state leave laws is also an issue for employers explored in the study. By listening to employee needs and consulting with brokers and carriers, employers can develop leave programs that address employee needs while considering state leave laws and legislation, the study found.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prudential.com%2Femployers%2Fgroup-insurance%2Findustry-insights%2Fbenefits-and-beyond&amp;esheet=54280216&amp;newsitemid=20250623016278&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Click+here&amp;index=3&amp;md5=a2bf576a7647f1eeffb2abf9ab798f8e\"><b>Click here<\/b><\/a><b> to view and download the study.<\/b> The research was conducted with 2,946 full-time employees and 750 employers in the U.S. via national online surveys in January and February 2025.
