旧金山--（商业新闻短讯）--Grayce，一个面向家庭的综合社会关怀平台，今天宣布它已经在a系列基金中筹集了1040万美元。这一轮由Maveron领导，来自BBG Ventures和Correlation Ventures、GingerBread Capital、Alumina Ventures、Visible Ventures、Gaingels和What If Ventures。

凭借这一新资金，Grayce将扩大其创新平台，以增强其雇主解决方案和会员体验，并进入付款人市场。

With crisis level staffing shortages in childcare, eldercare, and healthcare, more employees are being thrust into new roles as caregivers while juggling work, and the healthcare system is increasingly relying on caregivers to provide and manage care. Seventy-three percent of employees currently report caregiving responsibilities, according to Harvard Business School research, leading to one of the greatest reasons talent is leaving the workforce.

随着儿童保育、老年护理和医疗保健领域出现危机级别的人员短缺，越来越多的员工在兼顾工作的同时被推上了照顾者的新角色，医疗保健系统越来越依赖照顾者来提供和管理照顾。根据哈佛商学院的研究，目前有73%的员工报告有照顾责任，这是人才离开职场的最大原因之一。

Despite this widespread caregiving responsibility, employers are just beginning to appreciate and understand its impact on productivity, absenteeism, leave, retention, and medical costs. Harvard’s research reveals that 52% of employers do not track data on employees' caregiving roles, highlighting a lack of awareness about the significant impact of caregiving on their workforce, operations, and bottom line..

尽管有这种广泛的护理责任，但雇主才刚刚开始意识到并理解它对生产力、旷工、休假、留任和医疗费用的影响。哈佛大学的研究表明，52%的雇主没有跟踪员工护理角色的数据，这突显出他们对护理对员工、运营和底线的重大影响缺乏认识。

Grayce’s social care platform addresses unmet needs in medical care, supporting family caregivers in reducing stress and navigating caregiving complexities. Each member receives dedicated support from a social worker who manages their comprehensive care needs—from planning and prioritizing to identifying resources, coordinating care, and advocating on their behalf.

Rooted in a social work care model, Grayce provides a fully personalized experience through its team of social workers and a high-touch digital platform.
