Description:
Employee populations continue to trend from being regionally defined to borderless by nature. Human Resource teams are struggling to keep pace with constantly expanding leave legislation and the rigor required to manage, track, and report employee leave.
Historically, Enterprise employers have been the primary users of third-party Absence Management solutions. By 2026, more than 25% of states will have mandated statutory disability (“SD”) and paid family & medical leave programs (“PFML”). The added regulatory and administrative burden is forcing middle-market employers to do their due diligence on the solutions available to alleviate their growing absence management burden.
Attendees of this program will:
- Explore the statutory landscape of SD and PFML programs across the USA, quickly traversing the history of these initiatives, the current statutory and regulatory environment, and glean details respecting prospective programs launching in 2026.
- Identify and define the value proposition of the four absence management options available to employers, including:
- Insource;
- Co-Source;
- Outsource with stand-alone absence management provider; and,
- Outsource absence management through a group disability vendor
- Compare and contrast the capabilities, processes, and costs associated with each of the above models.
- Learn to identify your company’s attributes that help determine the ideal service model and vendor partner.
- Understand the required planning, implementation timeline, and your ongoing role in an effective absence management program.
