New analysis by Dr. TaMika Fuller and Dr. Victoria Lender highlights how supporting working caregivers can reduce burnout, strengthen engagement and drive organizational performance

PHOENIX, March 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has released a new white paper, “How Organizations Can Help Sandwich Moms Achieve Work-Life Balance,” authored by TaMika Fuller, DBA, and Victoria Lender, DBA, both affiliated with the University’s Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR). The paper offering actionable strategies for employers to better support employees of the “sandwich generation,” balancing care for both children and aging parents.

Building on insights from the University of Phoenix 2025 Career Optimism Special Report™ Series: Moms in the Sandwich Generation, the white paper moves beyond identifying the challenges facing “sandwich moms” to examine how those pressures translate into measurable workplace outcomes—and what organizations can do in response. Prior research found that approximately 23% of U.S. adults are part of the sandwich generation; this new analysis shows how insufficient workplace support contributes to burnout, career stagnation and reduced productivity.

From insight to action: What employers need to change

This white paper identifies sandwich moms as a growing and often underserved workforce segment whose experiences directly affect organizational outcomes, including retention, engagement and institutional trust.

Key workplace impacts highlighted in the paper include:

• Increased burnout and absenteeism tied to competing caregiving and work demands
• Career stagnation and reduced advancement opportunities due to inflexible workplace structures
• Financial strain associated with caregiving responsibilities
• Lower engagement and trust when employer support systems fall short

Evidence-based strategies to support working caregivers

The white paper outlines practical, research-informed strategies organizations can implement to better support sandwich generation employees, including:

• Expanding flexible work arrangements, including remote and hybrid options
• Enhancing paid leave and caregiver-specific benefits that account for both childcare and eldercare
• Training managers to lead with empathy and performance-based evaluation, rather than availability
• Redesigning career pathways to support nonlinear progression and long-term growth

“The challenges facing sandwich moms are not just personal—they are organizational,” said Fuller. “When employers design policies that reflect real-life caregiving demands, they move beyond just supporting employees—they strengthen retention, performance and long-term workforce stability.”

“Employers have an opportunity to rethink how work gets done,” added Lender. “The sandwich generation is a critical segment of the modern workforce, and by aligning workplace practices with their workforce realities, organizations can unlock greater engagement and create more sustainable career pathways for working caregivers.”

A growing workforce segment with business impact

Sandwich generation caregivers represent a significant and economically consequential segment of the workforce. According to the 2025 AARP and National Alliance for Caregiving report, 63 million Americans—nearly 1 in 4 adults—provide ongoing care, and 7 in 10 family caregivers are employed while balancing these responsibilities.

The white paper builds on this national context to show that without targeted employer support, dual caregiving demands can disrupt work, increase burnout and limit career mobility. Conversely, organizations that invest in flexible policies and caregiver support systems are better positioned to strengthen retention, engagement and overall workforce resilience.

The full white paper is available through the University of Phoenix Research Hub.

With 75 days to go until the FIFA World Cup 2026™, Visa and partners expand community investment—bringing additional access to sport, education and opportunity to communities across the U.S.

SAN FRANCISCO and CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Visa, the Official Payment Technology Partner of the FIFA World Cup 26™, together with national nonprofit Street Soccer USA and Bank of America, the Official Bank Sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 26™, today announced a significant expansion of Visa Street Soccer Parks, bringing a new park to every host city in the U.S. ahead of this summer’s tournament.

Designed to serve communities at the neighborhood level, Visa Street Soccer Parks transform underutilized spaces into vibrant, accessible hubs for sport, learning and connection. As the tournament approaches, the expansion will bring community-driven infrastructure and programming to all 11 U.S. FIFA World Cup 26™ Host Cities, including new parks in Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia and Tacoma. This community-focused infrastructure investment reflects a shared commitment to harnessing the unifying power of sport to uplift local communities.

“With the FIFA World Cup™ just months away, we’re shifting from preparation to execution,” said Kim Lawrence, Regional President, North America, Visa. “This tournament is a global moment, but its legacy is built locally—in the neighborhoods that will host fans, families and the next generation of players. By expanding Visa Street Soccer Parks and supporting the local businesses and people who activate them every day, we’re turning tournament momentum into meaningful opportunity that lasts well beyond the final match.”

Each park is custom designed to support meaningful, ongoing use by the communities it serves and features two professional grade Bank of America fields, lighting for extended play, learning centers and flexible gathering spaces. Programming is delivered in collaboration with community partners and tailored to local needs—supporting recreational play, academic enrichment, workforce readiness and community engagement.

“Communities are built on accessible opportunities for connection, healthy activity and growth,” said David Tyrie, President, Marketing, Digital and Specialized Consumer Client Solutions at Bank of America. “These are more than just places to play; they are spaces where people of all ages can find common ground through the game of soccer, develop essential life skills and forge lasting bonds that strengthen our community fabric.”

Since opening the first park in San Francisco last year, the initiative is already demonstrating its impact on the ground with additional parks in Denver, Kansas City and New York City actively hosting youth and adult leagues, after-school academic support, financial education sessions and job readiness programming in partnership with local organizations. Previously announced parks in Nashville and Atlanta remain in development, with opening dates to be shared as planning is finalized.

“This is not about short-term excitement—it’s about building something that lasts,” said Lawrence Cann, Co-Founder and President of Street Soccer USA. “These parks are designed to create consistency and access, but more importantly, they belong to the communities that activate them every day. Rooted in community leadership, they create a bottom-up, durable legacy built and sustained by the people who call these neighborhoods home. As we expand these efforts into additional cities across the country, the focus is permanence and ensuring this work endures long after the tournament ends.”

The FIFA World Cup 26™ will bring unprecedented global attention to the United States. Through Visa Street Soccer Parks—and by supporting the people and small businesses that activate them—Visa, Street Soccer USA and Bank of America are already delivering community-driven impact, building spaces that will serve local communities well beyond the tournament itself.

QINGDAO, China, March 28, 2026  /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leading brand in global consumer electronics and home appliances, is advancing energy-efficient innovation across the industry as sustainability becomes an increasingly important part of everyday technology.

Every year during Earth Hour, millions of households around the world switch off their lights for sixty minutes. Yet an equally important sustainability story may be unfolding on the screens that remain on. As home electronics play a larger role in daily life, improving energy efficiency has become a key focus of innovation.

For Hisense, greener technology begins long before a TV reaches the living room. In 2025, Hisense Hitachi’s Huangdao Factory was recognized by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as the world’s first Sustainability Lighthouse in the VRF sector, showcasing how AI-driven production enables more efficient, environmentally responsible manufacturing. Building on this achievement, the Hisense Visual Technology Qingdao Factory was recognized by WEF as a Customer Centricity Lighthouse, becoming the first and only Lighthouse factory in the global television industry.

These dual recognitions reflect a broader shift in Hisense’s manufacturing network toward sustainability and operational excellence—a foundation that extends naturally into its 2026 TV lineup. Hisense’s latest models showcase energy-aware innovation across hardware and smart features. The upcoming UR9 series, set to global launch in April, introduces solar-powered remote controls in regions including Europe and Australia, while Adaptive Light Sensor and energy-saving modes adjust brightness and power use, helping users manage electricity more efficiently.

Hisense is also extending its sustainability approach beyond the product itself. Its Eco-care packaging uses FSC^®100% certified wood and fiber materials, sourced from responsibly managed forests, reducing environmental impact throughout the production and delivery process in Europe.

Hisense is also advancing product-level environmental assessment, with Laser Projector C3 undergoing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and product carbon footprint (PCF) verification by SGS, supporting transparent evaluation of environmental impact across the product lifecycle.

Many environmental improvements are happening quietly—through engineering advances that improve efficiency, reduce waste, and extend product lifecycles without changing how people experience technology. For Hisense, this reflects its vision of “Innovating a Brighter Life”, developing technology that enhances entertainment while steadily lowering its environmental impact.

About Hisense

Hisense, founded in 1969, is a globally recognized leader in home appliances and consumer electronics with operations in over 160 countries, specializing in delivering high-quality multimedia products, home appliances, and intelligent IT solutions. According to Omdia, Hisense ranks No. 1 globally in the 100-inch and over TV segment (2023-2025). As The Origin of RGB MiniLED, Hisense continues to lead the next-generation RGB MiniLED innovation. As the official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2026^TM, Hisense is committed to global sports partnerships as a way to connect with audiences worldwide.
