Description

Employee leave is an important piece of the benefits puzzle. But undoubtedly, it can be a confusing benefit to manage. The ever-evolving leave landscape of federal, state, local and company programs continues to grow more complex each year. That’s why many employers outsource their management. But having a third party manage your leave administration doesn’t mean giving up all control. It means maximizing everyone’s strengths. In this session, The Hartford will share key trends in leave management and tips for co-sourcing. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of how leave works and what employers can do to stay compliant through the complexity.
