Employers make a difference

Voya Cares provides resources and support for your caregiver employees and those with disabilities or special needs.

One out of every four people in the U.S. (approximately 66 million people) lives with a disability1, and roughly half of U.S. adults care for a child, parent or other relative; that’s more than 100 million caregivers.2 Even so, people with disabilities and their caregivers are often overlooked.

Our central mission is to help all Americans retire better — one person, one family, one institution at a time. And providing solutions and services to the special needs community is a natural extension of our goal. In the process of doing so, we’re looking to help organizations make a difference in the lives of millions living with special needs and disabilities, as well as their caregivers.

How can employers help?

We conducted extensive market research to assess the complex realities and needs of caregivers and employees with disabilities to help inform employers on how to best support them. See below for some of our key findings, and download the whitepaper and infographics to learn more.

Employers can offer education and access to information (such as those on Voyacares.com) that can help their employees understand what resources are available to them and how to make the most of their financial plan.

The toolkit below will help employers address the unique needs of the special needs community and become even more valuable to their clients and employees.
