Managers are often the first contact point for employees requesting leave, yet many feel unprepared to respond or take appropriate action. Common challenges include knowing what information can be asked of employees on leave, how to communicate with HR, and maintaining business continuity during absences.

Join us as our speakers discuss: 

  • Key elements of a positive leave experience based on employer and employee feedback.

  • How a positive leave experience can benefit employees and the organization.

  • Best practices for communicating with and supporting employees across all generations.
