With the proliferation of state leave laws, expanded protections under the PWFA, and existing laws like the FMLA and the ADA, it’s not hard for a single life event, such as a pregnancy, to become a very complex set of entitlements for HR to navigate.

In this presentation, we will review several different examples of complex leave cases from pregnancy to migraines to neurodiversity, and dive into the nuances of intersecting entitlements. We will provide participants with a worksheet of actionable best practices and show examples of how to automate processes into workflows to better manage complex leave cases.

Go beyond the presentations and join some of today’s most insightful DMEC speakers for an unscripted, unfiltered conversation. This is your chance to get direct answers to your most pressing questions and dive deeper into the topics that matter to you.

Choose one of three exclusive opportunities to join the conversation:

• Employee Experience: Get direct answers on leave of absence topics, from the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to paid family and medical leave and explore how overlapping regulations shape the employee experience.
• Technology: Your chance to ask subject matter experts about the future of leave technology, artificial intelligence, and what true disruption looks like.
• Neurodiversity & Mental Health: Ask our experts your most pressing questions on creating an inclusive workplace and navigating compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Given the stunning acceleration of artificial intelligence, are employer and employee leave experiences lagging? And if they are, why? In this session, speakers who are immersed in building and deploying leave technologies will discuss the state of leave technology and regulatory, technical, and practical barriers to product acceleration, all with an eye toward helping you determine whether we are demanding enough of ourselves and providers.

Since one in five adults in the U.S. experiences a mental illness each year, there is a high probability that some of your employees have a mental health impairment. This presentation will engage attendees through an interactive discussion addressing disability benefits, performance management, and absence policies as they relate to your employees’ mental health. Learn how to navigate employee safety issues and direct threat situations. And, most importantly, receive guidance on how to avoid legal pitfalls. This presentation will provide you with practical guidance as it relates to real-world situations and mental health in the workplace.

Approximately 20% of the population is considered neurodiverse, and they experience and understand the world in unique ways. Neurodiversity includes a wide range of mental health and substance use conditions, as well as some neurological issues. In today’s competitive business environment, employers must create an inclusive workplace where all employees can thrive. But, managing neurodiverse employees comes with its own set of challenges. In this session, explore practical ways to accommodate neurodiverse individuals, helping them to excel and contribute to the success of your organization. Also learn effective strategies for recruiting and retaining neurodiverse talent, removing the stigma associated with cognitive disabilities and ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and  ADA Amendments Act requirements.
