The Invisible Caregiver

This drawing for WebMD accompanies a story called Invisible Caregivers. Taking care of a sick or elderly loved one can save Americans millions in health expenses. But it also can take a great  toll on the family caregiver. The isolating nature of this task can cause depression, financial stress, poor health and guilt (from lack of attention to other family members and careers). Thanks to art director Brittany Long for this vital assignment. Below are some spot illustrations which accompanied the story.

Many choose must choose between getting an education and caring for a loved one.

The average American has seven family members who will care for them in a lifetime.

Many longterm caregivers suffer from depression

Caring for a loved one leads many Americans away from the workplace

Wearable Worries

Here's a new piece for HR magazine. Many companies are enacting wearables programs - asking their employees to wear gadgets on their wrists which monitor your sleep and exercise habits (one brand is Fitbit). They want to encourage employees to be conscious of their health. Some companies also use GPS systems in wearables to monitor movement patterns within the organization - to study ways for improving efficiency. Many employees can have concerns about the "Big Brother" aspect of these programs. This story looks at how HR departments can address employee worries about privacy and surveillance.  I had fun cooking up ideas:
