Time away is a consequential part of an employer’s benefit program. Aflac’s 2025 Time Away study highlights the impact to workers caring for the work of coworkers on leave and uncovers the true impact to employees’ mental and physical well-being as well as productivity.

In this session, we will review key findings from this year’s study and hear from experts on how to promote employee resilience and well-being. We will highlight what leaders should be on the lookout for when identifying signs of burnout, stress, and physical breakdown. Finally, we will uncover what one employer considers when creating time away programs and strategies they have in place to highlight resources for managers, teams, and employees in an effort to reduce the impact of covering for extended leaves.
