The business case
73%
of U.S. employees are caregivers — most of your workforce
49%
fewer than half of working caregivers say their supervisor knows
More than 100% ROI
A 3% drop in caregiver turnover generates an ROI of more than 100%
(Assumes the cost to replace is 50% of their salary.)
Sources: Harvard Business Review, “You Need to Understand Your Employees’ Caregiving Responsibilities” (Aug. 2026), citing Harvard Business School (73%) and HBS Prof. Joseph Fuller (ROI, assuming replacement cost of 50% of salary); AARP & National Alliance for Caregiving, “Caregiving in the US 2025,” p. 34 (49% of employed caregivers say their supervisor knows; 51% have not told them).
The question the convening is built around
“What would it take for your company to actually see the people who are stretched thin outside of work — caring for parents, children, or a spouse — and not just the ones who tell you about it?”
An invitation-only, salon-style gathering. An intimate cross-sector collaboration of Twin Cities organizational leaders known for putting their people first.

Poor community health costs the nation an estimated $1.4 trillion a year, and employers absorb a large share of it. CHC's goal is to cut America's life-expectancy gap in half within ten years. Jean Accius on what that takes, and what it means for the companies in this room.
Featured segment · 12:50
Food, housing, and clean air are the table stakes of a healthy community. We are also sustained by the relationships that give our lives meaning. Kyle Woody on the greatest relationship development opportunity every employer has.

Construction is known for grit, not care. Bob Gardner built his company on a different belief: that how people feel matters as much as what gets built. From laborer and shipyard machinist to Founder & CEO of Gardner Builders, Bob on what it takes to put people first in a hard-hat industry.
