2023 DMEC FMLA/ADA Employer Compliance Conference: The Absence Connection - Where Behavioral Health Meets FMLA

Research shows that employers don’t feel comfortable navigating employees’ behavioral health challenges; however, the Department of Labor has published updated information to remind employers about the importance of including behavioral health conditions as protected leave under FMLA.

In this session, we will review the current landscape of behavioral health in the workplace and the key compliance considerations for these conditions under the FMLA. Presenters will also discuss the impact of behavioral health conditions on employee absence, productivity, and engagement, as well as provide practical tips and effective solutions for supporting employees with behavioral health conditions.
