Retaining Seasoned Employees through Long Term Healthcare Education

KIRKLAND, Wash., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- In uncertain times, older, experienced employees are the ones companies want to keep. But these seasoned people may leave of their own accord.

At no cost, the program puts employees through a crash course in long term healthcare planning. LTCOEP(TM) helps workers and managers cope with the productivity-draining prospect of caring for family members, usually aging parents, who can no longer care for themselves. Some "graduates" end up securing long term care insurance; others set up savings plans to handle future care needs.

The eldercare issue is seriously affecting bottom lines. Through a combination of attrition, absenteeism, and reduced productivity, "Large companies are losing tens of millions each, every year, and smaller ones are
