2023 Workforce Absence Management Survey

The 2023 Workforce Absence Management Survey conducted by HUB International highlights a notable shift: What started as temporary alterations to absence management policies in 2020 and 2021 have now solidified into permanent changes, fundamentally reshaping the approach of small-and medium-sized U.S. businesses to handling employee absences.

The survey underscores trends such as the increased adoption of telecommuting, expanded paid holidays, and more generous paid time off (PTO) allowances. These adjustments signify a larger movement toward prioritizing employee work-life balance and fostering engagement, as employers strategically adapt to meet the evolving expectations of the workforce in terms of enhanced benefits and leave protocols.
