Tom Parry , IBI;Terri Rhodes , DMEC; andSteve Coffman , Guardian, led a panel, moderated byGene Lanzoni , Guardian, about leave management market trends. The trio highlighted that activity is on the rise across the industry prompting employers to seek best practices to improve their business outcomes and overall employee experience.- "Leveraging Insights from MD Guidelines," presented by
Fraser Gasper , PhD, MPH, ReedGroup, highlighted that greater access to diagnosis data has led to better outcomes, and that following evidence-based guidelines can help reduce healing time and medical costs. - Paid family and medical leave laws were a hot topic, and Guardian's
Judy Buczek and ReedGroup'sJames Venable andSusan Woods gathered for a panel titled, "Let's Talk Leave Law: Ask the Compliance Experts." The conversation focused on the diverse range of paid leave legislation advancing through state governments, how untangling the compliance landscape is becoming increasingly complicated for any business, and how any missteps can potentially lead to fines, penalties or employee litigation. - Finally,
Kevin Curry from ReedGroup moderated a "Leave Best Practices:Employer Panel " highlighting best practices from leading companies on what they are doing to foster a healthy and productive workforce with positive leave management policies.
Adds Costantini: "The Symposium was a valuable opportunity for us to create a forum where attendees could discuss and exchange ideas with industry leaders on how they can improve leave management. We also dedicated time to provide an overview of the states that are currently considering leave laws, as we anticipate more companies, large and small, will need a trusted partner to help them navigate the complexities."
