We're thrilled to announce our newest partnership with Teva Pharmaceuticals — a company that shares our commitment to supporting employees who balance the demands of work and family caregiving. At Mellie, we believe caregiving shouldn't come at the cost of professional success. Through our collaboration with Teva, we're helping its US workforce navigate the challenges of caring for aging parents and adult loved ones while thriving in their careers.
Employee Caregiver Crisis
Family caregivers are working professionals who take on unpaid care responsibilities for relatives with health issues, disabilities, or aging needs, affecting over 30% of employees in the US workforce. These caregivers spend around 24 hours weekly on such duties, negatively impacting productivity (-11%), increasing absenteeism (+6.6 days/year), and affecting retention (-8%) in the workplace. Challenges include navigating insurance, legal, and financial matters and coordinating care services. With the aging boomer population, longer life spans, and a shortage of professional caregivers, employee caregiver support is critical. Mellie offers an award-winning solution, helping employees manage day-to-day caregiving tasks, resulting in a net positive impact on productivity and absenteeism, alongside boosting employee wellbeing, loyalty, and engagement.
Our Mission at Mellie
Employee wellbeing is the foundation of any successful organization. Our mission is to help companies create supportive work environments for employees caring for loved ones—whether that's aging parents, in-laws, or children with special needs. Through our innovative employee caregiver benefit, we empower employers to foster a culture of care, making sure their teams feel supported and confident as they balance their caregiving responsibilities and their work.
Why Teva Chose to Offer Mellie
Teva understands that a healthy, supported workforce is vital to its success. It's long been committed to employee wellbeing through initiatives like its Circles of Care program, which builds community and support for family caregivers. Now, with the addition of Mellie's senior caregiver support benefit, Teva is taking its commitment to care even further.
With the Mellie benefit, Teva's employees can now access personalized guidance, tailored resources, and practical tools to help them better manage their caregiver responsibilities. Whether it's finding the proper care for an aging parent or making informed decisions about long-term care, Teva employees can rest easier knowing they have Mellie's concierge support and mobile app at their fingertips.
How the Partnership Works
Through this partnership, Teva employees have full access to Mellie's senior caregiving services, which include:
Personalized Concierge Support: Our caregiving experts are just a phone call away, helping employees confidently navigate complex senior care topics and decisions.
Tailored Care Plans: Every caregiving situation is unique, so our senior care experts work one-on-one with employees to develop individualized care plans that meet their specific needs.
Educational Resources: We quarterly webinars on crowd-sourced topics and provide guidance on strategies to manage work and eldercare responsibilities, from how to start difficult conversations to organizing the day-to-day.
As Teva continues to build a culture of support, we're proud to be a key partner in ensuring their employees feel empowered and cared for. Together, Mellie and Teva are creating a workplace culture that genuinely embodies care, where employees are empowered to be present at work and at home.
A Shared Vision of Care
Both Mellie and Teva share a common vision: creating a workplace where care is at the core. For Mellie, it's about offering solutions that make caregiving manageable while improving the quality of life for those receiving care. For Teva, it's about ensuring their employees feel supported. This partnership reflects our shared belief that when employees feel cared for, they're better equipped to bring their best to their work and personal lives.
Looking Ahead
We're excited to see the impact Mellie's caregiving benefits will have on Teva's employees in the coming months. Just three weeks post-launch we’re already seeing record success in terms of employee adoption and engagement. We'll continue working closely with Teva's HR and leadership teams to adapt and expand our support to meet the evolving needs of their employee caregivers. We can't wait to share the success stories that will come from this collaboration and to continue supporting Teva's culture of care.
