Leave benefits that allow employees to take time off from work for various reasons are increasingly becoming a key factor in employee recruitment and retention. But how does your company stack up? Are you offering too much time off or not enough? Is your plan competitive? Or is it falling behind your peers?

Alera Group’s Employee Leave Report provides valuable insights into how companies of different sizes, industries, and locations are addressing employee leave, including holidays, vacation time, sick leave, and other paid leave for common life events. The survey is intended to provide you with the data you need to offer a competitive leave strategy.

We encourage you to meet with your local Alera Group partner to review the survey findings as you evaluate your total benefits strategy.
