Paid family leave: Meeting modern workforce needs
The expansion of state-mandated paid family and medical leave (PFML) programs across the US has introduced new challenges for employers, and increased employee expectations for paid family leave as a standard benefit — even in states that don't have a mandate. Here's what you should know.



Fully insured, state-approved PFML plans
Ready for seamless guidance through the complexity? Our private plans are fully insured, state-approved, and backed by digital capabilities designed to help make administration easier.

Unique short-term disability coverage
With our paid leave benefit rider, available on group STD plans, you can provide flexibility to meet employees at every stage of life. And more built-in support helps drive retention even higher.
