2025 Webinar: The Employee Leave Journey – Effective Support Before, During, and After Time Away

Behind every leave of absence is an individual facing a challenging time—whether due to illness, injury, loss, family responsibilities, or the arrival of a new child. Supporting these employees goes beyond approving time off and administering benefits; it requires a thoughtful approach that ensures they feel cared for before, during, and after their leave. This webinar will explore strategies to enhance the employee experience at every stage, from benefits education to self-service tools for planning, claims, and tasks. We’ll take you through a complex leave scenario and share how key resources can help employees navigate life’s demands, whether they’re on leave, balancing responsibilities while working, or transitioning back.

Join us for insights on creating a compassionate, compliant leave experience, leveraging benefits to promote resilience and retention, and building a strong return-to-work strategy that fosters engagement. By viewing leave as a holistic journey rather than a single event, employers can cultivate a workplace culture that values both well-being and productivity.
