Aptia adds Cariloop to partner ecosystem for working caregivers

Aptia has added Cariloop to Aptia Amplify Partners, expanding access to caregiver support tools for employer clients. The move gives companies a pre-integrated option to help workers manage childcare, elder care and other caregiving needs while aiming to reduce absenteeism and retention risk.

Why it matters: - Caregiving remains a major workforce issue, with employers facing lost time, unplanned leave and higher turnover when employees struggle to manage care needs. - Aptia clients now have a simpler way to offer personalized caregiver support without adding heavy implementation work for HR or IT teams. - Cariloop users report avoiding unplanned leave or PTO use 79% of the time, and employers offering the platform have reported a 3x return on investment.

What happened: - Aptia said Cariloop has joined Aptia Amplify Partners, Aptia’s curated ecosystem of pre-integrated third-party employee benefits solutions. - The announcement was made July 28, 2026. - Aptia is a U.S. employee benefits administrator and global pensions, health and insurance provider. - Cariloop is a caregiver support platform that serves more than 2 million working caregivers worldwide.

The details: - Cariloop combines licensed care coaching with digital tools for care coordination, provider search and backup care. - The platform supports caregivers across childcare, education, elder care, neurodiverse support and other life stages. - Aptia clients will get access through simplified contracting, seamless integration and embedded engagement content inside AptiaOne. - Aptia said the platform is designed for fast deployment and requires no additional workload for HR or IT teams. - Cariloop’s care coaches respond in under two hours on average. - Employees save an average of 12 hours each time they use the platform. - Aptia said its Amplify roster also includes solutions across well-being, condition management, mental health and financial wellness. - Aptia plans to expand the program to more than a dozen integrated solutions by the end of 2026. - Aptia manages programs covering more than 6 million people and serves more than 1,100 clients. - Cariloop is a Public Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corp. - Cariloop says it supports more than 2 million members through more than 200 organizations worldwide.

Between the lines: - Aptia is building Amplify as a distribution channel for ready-to-use benefits tools, not just a referral list. - The partnership fits a broader employer push to address caregiving as a productivity and retention issue, not only a personal employee problem. - The reported ROI and time savings suggest Aptia sees caregiver support as a measurable benefits category rather than a soft perk.

What's next: - Aptia expects to keep expanding Amplify through 2026. - More employer clients can now add caregiver support through AptiaOne with limited administrative friction. - Cariloop’s role inside the ecosystem could broaden as Aptia adds more integrated partners.

The bottom line: - Aptia is adding caregiver support to its benefits stack in a way that aims to make adoption easier for employers and more useful for employees.
