This session will continue to develop the toolbox of skills for HR professionals to manage leaves of absences. Beyond medical leaves, employers increasingly face requests from public employees for military leaves, parental leaves and more. This will provide policy pointers and prepare HR professionals to address emerging leave of absence issues.
