2021 DMEC Virtual Annual Conference: Absence Management in the 21st Century: Using Data to Drive Workforce Management Strategy

With rising labor costs and expanding paid leave legislation across the country, employers are dealing with higher daily absence rates than ever before. Workforce management and productivity have become critical business issues. In this session, we will explore the current absence management landscape and discuss Trion’s 2021 Leaves of Absence survey data — which represents employer sponsored leave of absence plans for over three million U.S. workers across 15 different industries. We’ll also discuss how General Dynamics, a global aerospace and defense company, is using new technology that allows its absence data to become a leading indicator for its workforce management strategy.

Presenters:
Harry Norman, Business Development, Trion
Gregory B. Norton, National Practice Leader, Trion
Paula Riepl, Senior Consultant and Account Executive, Trion
Bob Restivo, Global Director of Benefits Strategy, General Dynamics
