2025 Tools & Tactics Webinar: Reshaping Leave Management – The Role of User-Centered Solutions

Thursday, Sept. 4
9:00 am PT | 12:00 pm ET

It’s critically important for employees to feel supported at work, especially when it comes to taking a leave of absence for family or health reasons. As regulations grow more complex, HR teams are working harder than ever to guide employees through their leave options, ensuring they understand their rights and navigate the process with confidence.

In this webinar, attendees will learn about user-centered leave planning and how it can significantly enhance the leave administration process. Through powerful real-world examples, attendees will learn best practices in sharing effective leave planning information with employees through the use of a leave planning tool.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn why leave planning is of critical importance to employees and HR teams.
  • Understand what it means to be “user-centered” and why it matters.
  • Explore the leave planning tools employers rely on.
  • Understand how leave planning tools work and their benefits.
