Seth Turner
Founder and Senior Advisor at AbsenceSoft
Seth Turner founded AbsenceSoft more than a decade ago after many years in the leave management space at Mercer and Reed Group. He saw firsthand that HR teams were drowning in administrative tasks, leaving them with little time to truly support employees during life’s most challenging moments. Seth and the founding team built AbsenceSoft to give HR the tools to manage leave and accommodations with confidence and care. Today, he is a thought leader and frequent speaker at conferences, webinars, and in the press, sharing practical strategies for program design, process improvement, and the significant business impact that comes from managing leave and accommodations the right way.
