Let's help employees understand and use their benefits

Ready to help simplify the maternity and bonding leave process for your employees? Now, there's a streamlined experience for reporting and filing these leaves and accessing short-term disability and state mandated disability benefits. Employees have access to personalized maternity and parental bonding leave dashboards to provide new clarity around this life event, as well as support from a dedicated team of maternity claim specialists to help them every step of the way. So they feel empowered to take advantage of all the benefits and resources available to them.

Access to a personalized informational dashboard

Guardian simplifies what many expecting parents view as the unknown around maternity and bonding leaves. After completing a brief questionnaire so we can collect key dates and information for an employee's parental journey, they have access to a personalized dashboard. This gives expecting or new parents:

  • Checklists

    To help them prepare for their leave and return to work, including important dates to know for filing claims.

  • Visual journey

    A detailed picture of their maternity or bonding leave to help better understand each step.

  • Helpful articles and resources

    Direct access to GuardianWell™, which provides relevant pregnancy and parenting articles along with access to all of their Guardian wellness benefits.

  • Access to file a claim

    When they're ready, employees can file their maternity or bonding claim along with important dates directly within their dashboard.

This comprehensive approach helps empower employees to feel confident in their journey, while simplifying the support needed from HR teams.
