Most HR leaders already know that a bad leave experience can damage an employee relationship. But few have the data to show leadership exactly how much it costs, or how much a good experience gives back.

This session connects the dots between process design, manager readiness, and measurable business outcomes. Whether you’re trying to make the case for investment or simply want to strengthen what you already have, we’ll share a practical framework for turning your leave program into a retention and culture strategy.
