NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sompo Horizon, a new employee benefits provider and subsidiary of Sompo Holdings, is pleased to announce global digital agency DEPT® will begin offering caregiving benefits through the CareGo platform to its employees in the U.S.
CareGo is an innovative solution that fosters a supportive workplace culture by equipping working caregivers with the necessary tools and guidance to care for their loved ones while prioritizing their own well-being. Through this program, companies can enhance the well-being of their employees, reinforcing their commitment to providing exceptional benefits and services in the workplace.
Key Features of CareGo Include:
- One-on-One Care Advisors: Licensed and certified advisors offer personalized plans, support, and guidance to caregivers.
- A Trusted Network of Partners: CareGo users have access to high-quality products and services that assist with home upkeep, in-home care, meal preparation, fraud detection, transportation, bill pay services, will and estate planning services and more.
- Caregiver Check-Ins: These one-on-one sessions involve a dedicated Care Advisor offering invaluable support and guidance during occasionally complex and stressful situations.
- Digital Repository: This tool helps the caregiver maintain important information about their care recipient(s), such as medications, dietary restrictions, contact lists, and centralized communications for the care team and caregiver.
Commenting on the partnership, Chuck Fillizola, Chief Operating Officer of Sompo Horizon, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to onboard DEPT® and begin offering concierge caregiving services to their employees in the U.S. Like many organizations, it is important for the agency to support employees who are caring for their own families, working full-time, and caring for an aging family member with the tools they need to prevent burnout.”
“We listen to our people and are always working hard to improve our processes, benefits and employee experience,” said Laura Rodnitzky, VP, Global People Operations & Americas P&C Lead at DEPT®. “We try to ensure our employees have access to a variety of programs and support to help manage their physical and mental well-being, and that includes support for working caregivers.”
