“Ten years ago, we’d be talking about our productivity, healthcare spend and bottom-line numbers,” says Seth Turner, chief strategy officer at AbsenceSoft, a Golden, CO-based absence-management SaaS solutions provider. “Now, it’s more about the employee as a whole and how we keep them engaged while they’re at work.”
