Yurtle provides an employer-sponsored solution that includes educational resources, assistance in finding backup care, and caregiver insurance underwritten by Starr International. Yurtle's insurance policy pays either a daily cash allowance or lump sum to help policyholders continue providing care for their loved ones, potentially covering accidental death as well. The company's B2B solution aims to prevent caregiver burnout by helping caregivers build a resilient care team and providing a financial safety net when their health deteriorates. Yurtle's app assists employees in reflecting on their care load, offers personalized advice on becoming more effective caregivers, and guides them on mobilizing their existing network to share caring responsibilities. The company estimates that the current lack of support for caregivers in the workplace costs employers GBP 4.8 billion annually through lost productivity, absence, and staff turnover.
As of March 2024, Yurtle had attracted approximately 2,500 customers. The company planned to release a new app called Yurty, which will help primary carers build a support team of family members and friends, create a library of relevant information, and provide related domestic services.
