Guardian Edge webinars
Gain insights and practical education for navigating evolving workforce trends.
Maternity leave is the most common reason for short-term disability claims in the US,1 and one of the most meaningful moments in an employee’s life. Yet for many new moms, the experience can feel fragmented, with disconnected benefits, processes, and communications creating added stress during an already complex transition. This is a pivotal opportunity for employers to help support new parents while improving consistency, engagement, and return-to-work outcomes.
Join us as we discuss how employers can help create a more seamless and supportive maternity journey. We’ll cover:
Strategies for connecting disability, absence management, and employee support resources
How a more integrated leave experience can help reduce friction and boost employee well-being
Ways employers can enhance the experience for new parents, including clearer communication, coordinated support, and a more thoughtful return-to-work approach
