How Alzheimer's Impacts the Workplace

Join Wisconsin business leaders virtually to hear from an expert panel regarding the impacts of Alzheimer’s in the workplace. Leading businesses recognize the demands of caregiving on their employees and are constantly improving to retain the best talent. Hear from the panel about their personal experiences and strategies that are improving our businesses in Wisconsin and keeping productivity.

Impacting your Workforce:

• 1/4 of caregivers are in the "sandwich generation" - meaning they take care of both children under 18 and their parents.

• 57% of employed caregivers had to go in to work late, leave early, or take time off due to caregiving demands.

• 6 in 10 caregivers were employed in the past year.

What you’ll learn:

• Common challenges employees face, while balancing caregiving and full-time work.

• Tips to support employee wellness for those balancing caregiving responsibilities.

• Strategies to improve productivity and performance of employees.

Panelists:

• Heather M. Snyder, Ph.D. Vice President, Medical & Scientific Relations at the Alzheimer’s Association®. Heather oversees Association initiatives that accelerate innovative Alzheimer’s research and provide opportunities for the global dementia community to connect and collaborate.

• Mara Swan, Retired Executive Vice President, Global Talent, ManPower. Mara has personal experience from her mother-in-law having Alzheimer's and a member of their executive team being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

• Bryan Wichmann, caregiver and Application Engineer at Crescent Electric Supply Company. Bryan's wife was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's last year and had to quit her job. They have one child in college and one still at home.

• Kristen Kochan, a member of the Alzheimer's Association Board of Directors who championed the Alzheimer's Association's mission at Direct Supply and saw much success through employee engagement will give tips and share ideas on how she made that happen there.
