This is a YouTube video (uploaded April 25, 2024) featuring Jen Henderson (CEO & founder of TILT) and Kate Feeney (COO of TILT and labor/unemployment attorney) discussing leave of absence (LOA) management. The speakers frame LOA as a human issue—employees experience childbirth, grief, disability, and breakdowns—and argue that traditional LOA processes cause administrative burden, employee churn, and legal risk. Jen states she founded TILT after personal negative experiences to eliminate poor LOA management; Kate highlights increasing legal complexity and previews guidance on modern, humane LOA practices.
