In fact, Forbes Advisor states that “47% of HR leaders report employee experience as a priority for 2023”. That’s why, at Larkin, a core tenant of our service is to use our deep expertise and visibility across the leave and benefits landscape to inform our clients of key trends and meaningful changes – continuously collecting and sharing insights you need to deliver a generous and competitive employee experience you’re proud of.

We recognize that acquiring and retaining top talent is paramount for your business. Larkin is committed to assisting clients in crafting a distinctive leave and benefits experience. By partnering with us, your company can elevate the employee experience and secure a significant competitive edge.

Larkin’s Eldercare Services

Larkin’s eldercare services put you at the forefront of the leave and benefits arena. Though a relatively recent addition to benefit offerings, its significance is undeniable. According to AARP, “32% of employees have left a job to take care of an older family member with daily living needs. And almost 25% of workers have quit work to take care of an ill or disabled spouse, partner or extended family member.”

Larkin has partnered with Ways and Wane to offer clients and their employees this invaluable service. It complements our family leave benefits, allowing employees to access eldercare support without needing time off. Such eldercare services assist employees before, during, or after a leave of absence.

Family Care Concierge

As with eldercare, our family care concierge services emphasize your dedication to assisting employees in their crucial family roles. This service allows your employees to support their children and other family members who depend on them for care. By partnering with Larkin, your employees can better address their care responsibilities while remaining engaged and focused at work.

Ongoing Education and Support
