Summary
The 2023 NFP Leave Benchmarking Report is a comprehensive study that identifies leave management practices across various industries in the United States. Conducted by NFP and commissioned to Hanover, the report compiles data from a nationwide survey involving 257 respondents, focusing on maternity, parental, family caregiver, bereavement, and sabbatical leaves, as well as paid time off and vacation policies. The report aims to provide insights to HR practice leaders regarding trends, best practices, and compliance in leave policies. Key findings indicate that while many employers offer maternity and parental leave, a significant percentage do not provide family caregiver leave or paid bereavement leave for specific circumstances. The report also discusses the importance of compliance with regulations such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and highlights the need for coordination between maternity leave and short-term disability benefits. Overall, the report serves as a valuable resource for organizations looking to enhance their leave management strategies.
