A socially minded insurtech supporting and celebrating employees balancing child and adult care with paid work.

About us

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. Reach out if you're an employer looking to align your benefits programmes with the needs of the modern day.

  • Keeping our momentum after last week's product launch, we are delighted to share our new whitepaper 📃 Care-related absence in the transport industry 📃 You can find on our brand-new website at: 🆕 https://lnkd.in/etwvRgB3 🆕 Researched with a great deal of care and a laser focus on the drivers of absence, as well as the impact. In this industry that can include fines and compensation for delays. A generally-ageing workforce also creates the need to attract and retain a more diverse pool of talent, including women who are working parents and carers, while ensuring men don't retire (or semi-retire) early due to caring. Head to our site now to find out more, and take a look at our brand new product pages while you're there. #WorkplaceAbsence #carers #parents #WorkingCarers #WorkingParents #Whitepaper #AbsenceResearch [Image description: Screenshot of Yurtle website.

    On #InternationalWomensDay, and every day, women provide a staggering 80% of all care. Whether it is looking after their children, their partners, parents or friends. Their caregiving saves on social care costs - to their family, the NHS and social care, but at what cost to them? Juggling work and care can cause stress and other health issues, as well as affecting womens' careers. That's why Yurtle develops products that benefit women by insuring against care breakdown and helping share care tasks. #Childcare #AdultCare #WorkingParents #Women #IWD2025 #EmployeeBenefits [Image description: An image of a family in symbol form, holding hands.

    Thank you to The Times for covering our new product release. The highest driver of sick leave in the workplace is childcare breakdown. For millennials that’s up to 6x per year. Not on our watch - led by Aaron Dryden 💪 When children are sick and unable to attend nursery/school, our new product gives employees the cash to finance alternative care with known and trusted babysitters, to throw grandma into a taxi for last minute support, or a vetted pprofessional. For sandwich carers, we also finance adult care when it breaks down. The future of social care is now. Yurtle is proud to counterbalance the funding challenges in the public sector.

  • Delighted that Yurtle Protect+, our brand-new, first-of-its-kind insurance product, has been featured in today's edition of The Times. Thanks to Richard Tyler for an interesting discussion and thoughtful article. In the year since our fund-raise was announced in the same paper, we have worked hard to research, explore and innovate, and this product delivers on both our missions: ☑️ To achieve social impact with products that meet working parents and carers' real needs ☑️ To provide products that appeal commercially to employers by solving against workplace absence This product wouldn't be possible without the support of Convex Insurance and Price Forbes See comments section for a link to the article, and to our blog summary.

  • The Future of Caregiving is Digital – Here’s Why 🚀 Caring for a loved one is a deeply personal yet logistically complex responsibility. As families juggle work, distance, and increasing health needs, traditional caregiving methods struggle to keep up. 💡 The Challenge:  ✔ More people are living longer, increasing the need for consistent care.  ✔ Families are more geographically spread out, making daily care harder.  ✔ Juggling work, personal life, and caregiving leads to burnout. 💡 The Solution? Digital Caregiving.  ✅ Real-time alerts – Know when something is wrong, instantly.  ✅ Efficient coordination – Reduce stress with streamlined scheduling.  ✅ Improved health outcomes – Reduce hospital visits with proactive monitoring. At Yurtle, we offer:  🔹 Back-up Care Marketplace – Connects users to affordable, highly-skilled and vetted self-employed adult and child carers.  🔹 Educational Resources – Tools to help carers balance work, care, and well-being.  🔹 Support Team for Care-sharing – A network of family, friends, and professionals to share caregiving responsibilities. 📖 Read our latest blog on how digital caregiving is transforming support (3min read): https://lnkd.in/eZf6A9A9 #CaregiverSupport #DigitalCaregiving #EmployeeBenefits #WorkplaceWellbeing #HRSolutions
