Leave management: 2023 trends HR should know

Two new reports illustrate that employee expectations are growing - and how a leave management program can help HR retain employees. In this episode, two of the foremost U.S. leave experts, Unum’s Ellen McCann and Angel Bennett, discuss the implications for employers in this tough post-pandemic labor market.
A March 2023 Unum survey shows that 87% of employers recognize that their employees expect more from them in terms of care and understanding. And the latest “BEAT” study from LIMRA shows that employees overwhelmingly value paid time off and other leave and insurance benefits, even more than flexible work schedules.

Very insightful and very well said. It made me think differently about leaves and benefits for the organizations that I work with.
