Transforming how we work and care
About
Why Monarque?
Low employee engagement and retention are costly. Companies are constantly challenged with seeking innovative and low cost ways to stand out from the herd, reinforcing company culture and increasing per employee revenue.
A mounting hidden threat to engagement is the competing personal demand employees feel when juggling work and care. An aging population and struggling healthcare system means that individuals are being asked to step up more than ever before.
And so are employers.
The biggest challenge: Knowing the right blend of policy, benefit and cultural levers to effectively manage it all
Monarque Solutions partners with small to medium-sized businesses, directly supporting their workforce to address the unique caregiving threats to productivity, so managers and employees alike can focus on the work they've been hired to do.
The Full Story
Monarque Solutions was born at the intersection of leadership, caregiving, and transformation.
Founded by Cynthia Iorio, a Certified Caregiving Consultant (CCC) and Project Management Professional (PMP), Monarque Solutions exists to support the millions of professionals silently navigating the collision between career ambition and family caregiving responsibilities. After more than 20 years leading complex initiatives across the Media, Tech, and Aerospace sectors, Cynthia experienced firsthand how quickly life can shift when a loved one becomes critically ill.
While managing demanding leadership roles, she simultaneously navigated the terminal illnesses of both her parents—coordinating medical appointments, medications, hospital visits, difficult family conversations, and emotional overwhelm while attempting to maintain stability at work and at home. Like so many caregivers, she discovered that caregiving is not simply an emotional experience—it is also an operational one.
Without the employers in her corner, who were prepared with policy & support, she would not have been able to thrive.
What began as personal survival evolved into a deeper mission.
Monarque Solutions was created to transform the way we work and care, preserving integrity and empowering companies and their employees to be resilient during this overlooked life stage.
