HR leaders are facing an ever-increasing number of employees asking for a leave of absence. Today’s workforce is also willing to ask for leave when they need it—in a recent survey, we found that 85% of respondents felt comfortable requesting and taking a leave of absence. While leave managers are facing many challenges, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was recently reported by HR leaders to be their biggest struggle. This isn’t a surprise, given the FMLA’s finicky eligibility rules, regulations about notices and posters, and mountains of paperwork. When you multiply all that administrative work with rising leave requests, HR needs a lifeline. That’s where modernization comes in: using leave technology to reduce administrative work, automate complex calculations, and simplify compliance. Our step-by-step guide will show you how automation and technology can streamline efficiency at every step of the FMLA process.

Leave and accommodations is changing as rapidly as the workforce itself. Our State of Leave and Accommodations Report was created to give HR a complete, comprehensive view of 2024’s challenges, trends, and other insights — and what it means for the years ahead.

Two groups were comprised of employees who had recently requested a leave of absence or accommodation. The second two groups were HR and People Ops leaders at large and enterprise organizations.
