The Decision Framework

Build vs. Buy vs. Ignore.
A complete decision tool.

We built this framework because the internal conversation is not simple. A CHRO presenting eldercare support to the CFO will face hard questions about build costs, ongoing overhead, and ROI timeline. This framework answers them — honestly.

Criteria	Build	Ignore	Buy
Time to Value	18–36 mo.	Running now	6 weeks
Domain Expertise	Must hire	N/A	Provided
ROI Visibility	Low	None	High
HR Burden	High	Low absorbed	Low
Workforce Equity	Tiered risk	Universal gap	Equitable

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions HR leaders ask us most often.

How do we know how many of our employees are currently caregiving?

Most employers don’t — because employees rarely disclose. CareNgen’s workforce assessment uses demographic modeling and industry prevalence data to estimate caregiving prevalence in your specific workforce. You don’t need to survey employees; we build the model from the outside in.

Can we see employee-level data to understand individual situations?

No — and this is by design. CareNgen maintains a strict separation between employee usage data and employer reporting. HR receives anonymized, aggregated workforce impact metrics. Individual employee data is never shared with the employer under any circumstances.

How is CareNgen different from existing eldercare concierge services?

Existing concierge services were built for individual executive use cases — high-touch, expensive, and not designed to scale across a diverse workforce. CareNgen is a workforce platform built for equitable, consistent access at scale, with employer-facing analytics that concierge services don’t provide.

What does implementation actually require from our HR team?

Minimal. CareNgen manages implementation end-to-end, requiring approximately 4–6 hours of HR team time across the six-week deployment. We provide all communication templates, benefit language, and manager training materials.

How do you measure and report on program ROI?

CareNgen establishes baseline metrics at implementation and tracks program outcomes monthly — including absenteeism rates among enrolled employees, voluntary attrition indicators, and program utilization. Reports are delivered to HR leads monthly and designed for internal financial reporting.

Is CareNgen only for companies above a certain size?

CareNgen is designed for employers of 500 employees and above, where caregiving prevalence is sufficient to generate meaningful workforce impact. Below that threshold, the ROI model becomes less predictable. For smaller organizations, we recommend exploring our SMB partnership program.

Caregiving costs employers more than they think. We built the platform to fix it.

Lost productivity, unplanned absences, and quiet attrition from employees managing elder care add up fast. We’re launching a platform that helps HR and total rewards leaders recover that productivity- and build a workforce strategy that sustains it. Get notified when we go live.
