The effects of cognitive decline may be hiding in plain sight.

As cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease increasingly affect employees, caregivers, and families, employers have an opportunity to better understand and address the impact on workforce wellbeing, productivity, and healthcare costs.

In the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions' latest resource, NEBGH CEO Kim Thiboldeaux notes:
“The effects of cognitive decline may be hiding in plain sight, showing up through caregiving strain, productivity loss, and healthcare costs. As the workforce ages, employers should pay attention now and prepare for its growing impact.”

The brief explores why brain health belongs in workforce and benefits strategies and highlights practical steps organizations can take to support employees and caregivers while building a healthier, more resilient workforce.

Read the resource: https://www.nationalalliancehealth.org/resources/brain-health-and-cognitive-decline-supporting-employee-wellbeing-caregivers-and-workforce-performance/

Workforce brain health can shape how employees think, perform, cope with stress, and balance caregiving responsibilities—yet its impact is often goes unrecognized across productivity, absenteeism, healthcare costs, and workforce performance.
