Are you an employer seeking to provide robust maternity or parental leave benefits, especially in states without paid family and medical leave (PFML) laws? Amid the evolving needs of today’s workforce, there’s a growing demand for comprehensive leave solutions.

Join us to learn more about how Guardian’s paid leave rider is reshaping the absence management landscape. This session will explore:

  • The challenges employers face in states without mandated PFML programs 

  • How Guardian’s paid leave rider augments traditional short-term disability (STD) plans and seamlessly integrates with those plans, closing critical gaps and offering employees the flexibility they need during life’s most important moments.
