The expansion of state-mandated paid family and medical leave (PFML) programs across the US has introduced new challenges for employers, and increased employee expectations for paid family leave as a standard benefit — even in states that don't have a mandate. Here's what you should know.
Private plans are gaining traction in states that allow them. If your workforce is impacted, we can help.
Help all employees feel valued and supported by providing paid family leave benefits — whether or not they work in a state with a PFML law.
Help ensure current and prospective employees not only have the support to care for themselves, but can better support their families and loved ones. Giving your workforce the flexibility to confidently navigate each stage of life can help you increase retention, especially among working parents and caregivers. With Guardian by your side, you can make a real difference. Here's how.
Ready for seamless guidance through the complexity? Our private plans are fully insured, state-approved, and backed by digital capabilities designed to help make administration easier.
With our paid leave benefit rider, available on group STD plans, you can provide flexibility to meet employees at every stage of life. And more built-in support helps drive retention even higher.
