THE “SANDWICH GENERATION” WORKFORCE CRISIS: Caregiving / eldercare is one of the fastest-growing, least-supported employee needs. Women are leaving the workforce to care for those they love. Your company can't afford to lose them.

**This is not a women's issue. It's an economic issue, a business issue, and retention crisis. And you are likely already seeing and feeling it.**

**Sam fills your benefits stack gaps.**

97% of large employers offer an EAP. But average utilization? Under 5%.
Employees aren't using what they have because it wasn't built for real life.
Therapy, content platforms, and wellness stipends don't answer what employees are actually asking:
"Who do I trust?
“Where do I even start?"

Employees remain overwhelmed, distracted, and stressed.

What is Sam?

Sam is the missing layer in your benefits stack — practical, human-led support for your employees and their families during specific life moments.

Anyone going through something that is affecting their work.

Sam offers 1:1 personalized, actionable advice by licensed and vetted Experts with 15+ years of subject matter experience. We provide support across seven key domains of a woman’s life where those life moments happen.

Role/team transitions, leadership/promotion opportunities, workplace challenges, or working on executive presence
Preparing for parental leave, returning to work after leave, navigating tough family conversations, balancing eldercare with career, or parenting with intention
Burnout, stagnation, chronic illness, work-life balance, or loss of confidence
Loss of a loved one, identity, or past
Empty nesting, aging solo, or upcoming retirement
Divorce, looking for community, or relationship with your body after a health diagnosis

Sam is not therapy or a hotline. We do not use AI.

“I arrived with a 'collision' of health news and relationship shifts. My Navigator didn't just listen—she curated the exact Experts I needed to move from overwhelm to a concrete plan.”

-Alicia, Sam Client
“What differentiates Sam is the caliber of the Experts. Knowing these professionals are vetted to a 1% standard gave me the confidence to share my most private challenges. I walked away with more than insight; I walked away with a way forward.”

-Natasha, Sam Client
"I was navigating a high-stakes career pivot just as my family entered a complex season of eldercare. Sam didn't just give me advice; they gave me a unified strategy that honored both my professional legacy and my role as a daughter. I felt seen in the totality of my life, not just a slice of it."
