NFP Report Highlights the Growing Importance of Leave Management in Employee Experience
The NFP U.S. Leave Management Report, released by Aon company NFP, highlights how employers are expanding leave benefits to support employees through caregiving and life challenges as workforce demographics shift. While more than three-quarters (76%) now offer some form of caregiving leave—up from last year—only 26% feel confident in administering these programs accurately amid a complex regulatory landscape. The report also reveals a growing disconnect between employer perceptions and employee experiences, with employers believing their benefits are generous while employees often do not share that view. Additionally, menopause is emerging as an overlooked but increasingly important issue for workplace policies, with many employers unaware of related legislation despite rising state-level requirements. Employers are beginning to address broader family support needs by extending bereavement leave to cover miscarriage and failed IVF procedures. However, administrative complexity remains a significant challenge in delivering effective and accessible leave programs.
