Leave Doesn't Wait: Managing Absence When Volume Rises and Headcount Doesn't

Leave requests keep climbing.

Leave of absence looks like paperwork until you're the one holding it. A request lands, and you're reading federal, state, local, and company policy against each other while an employee waits on an answer during the worst week of their year.

Rachel Wyngaard, Senior Product Manager at Mitratech, worked in HR, talent acquisition, and recruiting before moving into product. She now leads the build and launch of Mitratech Leave, an AI-powered leave of absence intelligence platform.

Key takeaways:

  • Why leave requests keep climbing while HR headcount stays flat, and what that gap does to case quality
  • How the tactical thing HR asks a vendor for differs from the root need sitting underneath it
  • What changes when you design HR software for the worst day of the quarter instead of the ideal one
