New IBI research shows that paid family and parental leave has moved decisively into the mainstream, with 88% of surveyed employers now offering a standalone benefit beyond PTO, statutory programs, or short‑term disability.

We are excited to be joined by Seth Turner, founder of AbsenceSoft, who will share his perspective on how organizations are evolving their leave programs to meet changing employee needs.
