AbsenceSoft Featured in WorkLife on Workplace Accommodations and Remote Work

Remote work is now the #1 requested workplace accommodation, according to a recent survey conducted by AbsenceSoft, which gathered insights from 2,400 HR leaders and employees. This trend reflects the growing demand for flexibility in the workplace as companies re-evaluate return-to-office policies.

In WorkLife, Seth Turner, Chief Strategy Officer of AbsenceSoft, shared actionable insights on how HR teams can manage these requests while staying compliant with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). Turner emphasized the importance of proper escalation processes:

“We’ve done a lot of talking about the fact you need to educate your managers on recognizing these requests and getting them to HR,” said Turner. “You don’t really want your managers going through the interactive process and making the accommodation; you want that done in HR, where they are trained to do that.”

The article dives into how HR leaders can balance the unique needs of employees with the operational realities of their roles, highlighting AbsenceSoft’s pivotal role in simplifying accommodation management.
