Sandwich generation employees are rapidly becoming one of the most pressing challenges for employers, and a critical strategic issue for reward and benefits teams.
These employees are balancing childcare, eldercare and demanding roles amid rising costs and increasingly complex family structures. Their pressures are intensifying, with clear implications for retention, progression and organisational capability.
Confidence in employer support, especially benefits provision, is slipping. For reward leaders, this signals a high‑value talent segment at real risk of burnout, stepping back or leaving, taking skills and leadership potential with them.
This webinar explores the realities of sandwich careers in 2026 and the priorities reward and benefits teams must focus on to protect workforce stability, capability and performance.
Key issues to be explored:
• Why sandwich-generation employees are becoming the most vulnerable group for turnover and skills loss, and what this means for reward strategy
• The widening gap between hybrid working efficiency and employee wellbeing, and the role of targeted benefits in closing it
• What falling confidence in employer support signals for EVP, productivity and long term workforce stability
• The practical reward and benefits actions organisations must take to support sandwich careers and safeguard performance in 2026
