The J. J. Keller Center for Market Insights announced the launch of a nationwide HR benchmarking study aimed at capturing the realities and challenges facing today's employers in administering employee leave. The survey is now open and will remain available through August 31, 2026. Professionals involved in administering employee leave for their company are encouraged to participate at https://jjkeller.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d6yC0n4UTliYdxk and contribute their perspectives to this industry research effort.
The study is being conducted by the J. J. Keller Center for Market Insights in collaboration with SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management) and is designed to provide a data-driven view of current HR practices. Findings will be compiled into a comprehensive benchmarking report that will be made available to the broader HR community.
"With layers of federal, state and local leave laws, tracking compliance requirements and managing employee communications can become complex very quickly" said Lacie Callan, J. J. Keller Executive Vice President of Technology Solutions. "This study gives HR leaders an opportunity to share their experiences and help create a meaningful benchmark for employers. The more voices represented, the more valuable the insights will be for employers across the country as they evaluate their own practices and priorities."
The survey explores topics including:
• Leave administration practices and challenges
• Compliance confidence and areas of concern
• Administrative workload and resource demands
• Management involvement in leave administration
• Expectations for the future of leave management
HR professionals from organizations of all sizes are encouraged to participate. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete, and all responses will be aggregated for reporting purposes.
