AbsenceSoft Featured in Associated Press on Mental Health Leave Awareness

Not enough people realize that mental health leave is an option, and that clarity can make all the difference.
In a recent Associated Press article “Taking a mental health leave from work is an option most people don’t know about”, AbsenceSoft co-founder Seth Turner offered this reminder:
“Your coworkers don’t need to know why. They just need to know, ‘I’m going to be here at this time, and I’m going to be gone at this time, and I’ll be back.’”
The piece has already been picked up by 100+ outlets, including ABC News and its affiliate networks, generating over 11 million UVM. That reach is part of AP’s global network, which distributes stories to newsrooms around the world and reaches an estimated 4 billion people daily.
As wellness in the workplace continues to be a top priority for HR tech leaders, conversations like this one matters. We’re proud to support AbsenceSoft in helping companies create more compassionate, compliant leave programs.
Today’s HR tech leaders aren’t just managing leave — they’re shaping the future of workplace well-being.
