FMLA and Its Impact on Organizations

In January 2007, the Society for Human Resource Management conducted an extensive survey asking human resource professionals about the impact of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) on their organizations. Given the survey's clear focus and the direct experience of the participants, this analysis provides substantive, relevant data upon which to base policy decisions, taking into account the different uses of the FMLA, the challenges that come with implementation, and the future provisions of the act.
