Based on a new AbsenceSoft survey of 1,200 HR professionals, this session reveals a widening gap between how confident HR teams feel about their leave and accommodations programs and what the data actually shows about their readiness. Join AbsenceSoft Founder Seth Turner as he unpacks the numbers behind rising request volume, fragmented systems, AI adoption outpacing trust, and the real retention cost of getting this wrong — with a look at what’s changing under the 2027 legal landscape and what HR teams should prioritize heading into the new year.
