Yurtle

A population of employees with the Yurtle employee benefit is less absent from the workplace than a population without. Yurtle's app and insurance helps companies better support colleagues with adult and child care duties. The result: employers and employees perform better. Two in three people will take time out of work to provide unpaid care. Shockingly, each day 12,000 people are pushed into caregiving for a loved one having had no prior caring experience. This affects both employee wellbeing (it is a key obstacle to gender equality in the workplace), and UK corporate performance. With the upcoming enforcement of the 2023 Carer’s Leave Act in April 2024, this topic has never been more pressing for corporates to act. Our insurance pays for and places professional back up care when an employee is unable to provide care due to ill-health or accident, offering them peace of mind and a contingency plan. Outside of emergencies, our app minimises workplace absence and care breakdown by connecting employees with Yurty, our digital care ally. Yurty guides caregivers towards building a resilient care team (family, friends, neighbours) and connects them with personalised educational resources, curated discounts from care service providers, and care team collaboration tools.
