This webinar explores how HR and absence leaders can move from reactive, manual leave administration to proactive, compliant, and employee-centric programs. Drawing on insights from Pulpstream’s 2026 State of Leave Management benchmark report and a real-world case study from a large, multi-state employer managing nearly 30,000 employees, this session highlights how AI-powered automation is reshaping absence management. Attendees will learn how intelligent workflows will bring new efficiencies to absence management. The webinar will also address emerging compliance complexity, multi-state challenges, and why organizations that invest in AI-driven leave platforms are better positioned to scale, stay compliant, and support employees during critical life moments.
