Episode 45: AI Meets Leave Management: An Innovative Approach to Leaves Administration

AI’s growth continues unabated, with AI agents embedding in workplaces and seeking to make life easier across industries. To explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping leaves of absence and disability administration, host Josh Seidman sits down with Angie Brown, Strategic Sales Director at Ushur. Together, they navigate the evolution of technology in this space and discuss how new solutions can become part of the administrative process for employers, carriers, and TPAs. Their conversation dives into Ushur’s two flagship tools, including agentic AI, and how certain organizations are leveraging these tools to navigate different aspects of leaves of absence – collecting sensitive personal data, communications with employees, medical certifications, return to work, etc. – within their workforce or for their customers. They also explore additional practical applications for this type of software, and take a look ahead to what’s on the horizon for AI-driven leave management.

Episode 42: Enhancing Leave and Accommodation Policies for the Realities of Today’s Workforce

In this episode of Take It or Leave It, host Josh Seidman sits down again with Jim Jantz from Marsh McLennan Agency to explore how lawmakers and employers are expanding their leave requirements and offerings to go beyond the status-quo to provide more benefits that meet the needs of today’s workforce. From state and local statutory developments like paid leave laws that cover pregnancy loss, or educational-related absences, to new federal laws like the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, Josh and Jim break down how evolving regulations are responding to the changing demands of the workforce. The conversation also highlights how related considerations are fueling momentum around special use leaves – including bereavement, prenatal care, and school-related absences - and what this means for employers and employees alike. Beyond the regulatory developments, Josh and Jim also look at how employers are proactively adjusting their own benefit offerings to better support the holistic needs of their employees – through caregiver leave, flexible schedules, floating holidays, and more. They share practical guidance for employers assessing their current leave and accommodation policies through a lens of increasing inclusivity, including where to start and how to identify meaningful gaps.

Episode 41: FMLA, ADA, and PWFA - A Manager’s Guide to Compliance and Communication

In this episode of Take It or Leave It, host Josh Seidman sits down with Jim Jantz, a leave and disability compliance expert from Marsh McLennan Agency, to explore the critical role managers play in navigating employee leaves and accommodations.

They also dig into some of the more complex challenges managers face, like handling intermittent FMLA leave, managing the interactive process under the ADA and PWFA, and knowing when leave might be a reasonable accommodation. With practical tips, common pitfalls, and real-world examples, this conversation is packed with guidance to help frontline managers support their teams without putting their organizations at risk.
