Listen to the Take It or Leave It podcast with host Josh Seidman and absence management and compliance experts Lori Welty, Esq. and Patricia Zuniga from FINEOS for an insightful discussion on the growing role of artificial intelligence in leave and accommodations management. Together, they examine how organizations are using AI to improve efficiency, strengthen compliance, and support better decision-making, while also addressing the governance, transparency, and risk considerations that come with adoption.
The conversation emphasizes that successful AI implementation isn’t about replacing people, rather it’s about empowering them. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, the panel explores how organizations can combine AI-driven insights with human judgment, empathy, and accountability to make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
