Monday, August 4, 2025
1:30-2:30 PM
Baltimore Ballroom 1-2

Technology … it’s everywhere. How do you stack up compared to your peers in how much technology you are (or are not) using to support your disability & absence program? In this session, absence technology experts will share their experiences and guidance — the good, the bad, and the ugly. The benefits? Automated processes and analytics can save time and ensure compliance. The drawbacks? Human interaction and judgment are critical in leave management, especially when dealing with the often-present gray areas.
