Yurtle

Yurtle exists to serve companies who employ teams with child and adult care responsibilities. Often the single point of failure in their households, working caregivers are at a heightened risk of being absent from work due to the emotional, physical, and financial demands of their caring roles.

A population with Yurtle’s app and insurance is less absent from the workplace than one without. Yurtle makes a continuity of care promise. We provide employees funds that can be spent in our professional back-up care network should their health break down, precluding them from performing their usual duties as a carer.

This grants them peace of mind and allows employees to fully focus on their recovery, accelerating their return to work. Yurtle’s app enables working carers to build a resilient care team around them, helping them to more effectively share their care duties. Leveraging tried and tested technologies such as location-tracking and sentiment analysis, Yurty, our digital care ally, allows our users to receive personalised support as a function of the care they give and how they feel about it.

This support can come through educational resources, members of their care team (professional and otherwise), and handpicked service providers such as legal and financial support and much more. Addressing workplace absence emanating from care breakdown brings with it obvious benefits to employers, but it critically also unlocks deeper participation of women in the workplace, who today, as a result of saddling the majority of society’s care responsibilities are often under-employed and as a result endure lower pay, lower pension savings, and less senior positions at work.
