Joshin
a care-provider booking app that helps match people with disabilities to caregivers
How does it work?
We guide and support companies, employees, and their families in all aspects of disability and neurodivergence through specialized care, virtual coaching, and disability education.
Customers can choose from monthly, biannual and annual subscriptions that run from $15 to $30 a month. Caregivers are paid between $16 and $18 an hour, and Joshin charges a 20 percent service fee.
Why is it needed?
Disability impacts your workplace more than you think.
30%+ of employees are connected to disability or neurodivergence.
45% of employees are primary caregivers.
50% of business leaders report disability never comes up on their leadership agenda.
62% of disabled employees have a non-visible disability.
97% of employees with disabilities don’t feel comfortable disclosing their disability to employers.
100% of employees could become disabled at any moment.
How does it improve life?
We believe in the intrinsic value of every individual, and the collective joy of empowering others to be seen and known. When it comes to the well-being of those with disabilities and neurodivergence, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
