The 2025 State of Leave and Accommodations

Leave and accommodations is changing as rapidly as the workforce itself. Our State of Leave and Accommodations Report was created to give HR a complete, comprehensive view of 2024’s challenges, trends, and other insights — and what it means for the years ahead.

In this report, we surveyed four groups of 600 people (2,400 respondents) to understand how the landscape of leave and accommodations is evolving. Two groups were comprised of employees who had recently requested a leave of absence or accommodation. The second two groups were HR and People Ops leaders at large and enterprise organizations. By looking at trends being reported by leaders, and experiences of the employees themselves, we get a holistic picture from both perspectives to inform our analysis.​

This comprehensive report includes:

• Key Challenges for HR in 2025
• Leave of Absence Forecast
• Job Accommodations Forecast
• Leave of Absence Employee Experience Report
• Job Accommodations Employee Experience Report
