Benevity Report Reveals Confidence Gap Undermining the Effectiveness of Global Corporate Grantmaking

CALGARY, AB – 29/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – A new study from Benevity Impact Labs sheds light on a paradox at the heart of modern corporate philanthropy: while companies around the world are more committed than ever to making a difference through grantmaking, many lack the confidence to say they are doing it well. The report — The Grants Confidence Gap: Uncovering the Hidden Barriers to Effective Corporate Grantmaking — offers the first comprehensive, data-driven look into the psychological and strategic underpinnings of corporate social investment.

Drawing on responses from 120 global corporations, Benevity’s research shows that nearly three out of four organizations believe they are following best practices in grantmaking. Yet, barely half feel confident in their effectiveness. This “confidence gap,” according to Benevity’s Chief Impact Officer Sona Khosla, is not merely a soft metric; it represents a critical barrier that can undermine the credibility, reach, and long-term impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs.

“Confidence is an invisible currency in philanthropy,” Khosla said. “It determines whether teams feel empowered to innovate, to build trust, and to make the difficult trade-offs that meaningful impact requires. The data tells us that many grantmakers have the will—but they are still searching for the way.”

A New Lens on Corporate Grantmaking

The study dissects the anatomy of a high-performing grantmaking program, examining four pillars—strategic alignment, stakeholder engagement, adaptability, and communication—and how organizations rate themselves in each. While the results point to widespread enthusiasm and institutional support for CSR, they also highlight a striking gap between intent and execution.

1. Strategic Alignment and Execution:
   Nearly all surveyed organizations report having leadership support, dedicated budgets, and staff resources for their grant programs. However, a deeper analysis reveals a disconnect between executive enthusiasm and sustained investment. Teams often perceive a lack of consistent prioritization from leadership, suggesting that while CSR has moved up the corporate agenda, it has not yet achieved full strategic integration.
2. Stakeholder Engagement and Impact:
   Engagement scores fell short of expectations, particularly when measuring perceived success in working with community partners, employees, and nonprofit stakeholders. While companies are making an effort to engage broadly, many admit their initiatives are not generating the depth of outcomes they envisioned.
3. Innovation and Adaptability:
   The report identifies encouraging progress in adopting trust-based philanthropy—a model emphasizing transparency, long-term partnership, and flexible funding. Yet confidence remains fragile, with many teams uncertain about how to scale or measure success in this relatively new paradigm.
4. Communication:
   While 62% of organizations share their impact data with employees, only 41% believe their communication is effective. Many prioritize public ESG disclosures over internal storytelling, missing opportunities to connect purpose to corporate culture and employee engagement.

The Confidence Paradox in Corporate Purpose

The Benevity report argues that the “confidence gap” is not simply a matter of skill or resources, but of decision-making and trust. Khosla emphasized that teams are already working hard—what’s missing is clarity about where to focus. “The real barrier isn’t effort, it’s making the hard choices,” she said. “When organizations align around what truly matters, the confidence gap begins to close—and that’s when programs, partnerships, and impact start to grow.”

This insight reframes corporate grantmaking as not only a financial practice but also an emotional and cultural one. Confidence, the study suggests, acts as both a mirror and a catalyst—reflecting how well organizations internalize their values, and amplifying their ability to execute with authenticity.

Beyond Metrics: Building the Future of Corporate Giving

The Grants Confidence Gap report is powered by Benevity’s proprietary Impact Index, a benchmarking tool that allows CSR and grantmaking professionals to evaluate the depth, breadth, and effectiveness of their programs across eight performance areas. With this data, Benevity is helping companies identify blind spots and build confidence through evidence-based improvement.

Anchor Browser Raises $6 Million to Power the Next Frontier of Agentic AI on the Web

NEW YORK, NY AND TEL AVIV, ISRAEL – 27/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a pivotal development for the artificial intelligence ecosystem, Anchor Browser, a cloud-based platform built to empower AI agents to navigate and interact with the internet autonomously, announced it has raised $6 million in seed funding. The round was led by Blumberg Capital with participation from Gradient Ventures, alongside angel investors and advisors from OpenAI, ServiceNow, and SentinelOne.

This funding marks a significant step in the evolution of agentic AI — a branch of artificial intelligence focused on creating autonomous agents capable of understanding, reasoning, and acting independently across digital environments. Anchor Browser is emerging as a key enabler in this transformation by providing the browser-level infrastructure required for AI to operate online with the same fluency and resilience as human users.

Founded in 2024 by Idan Raman, Dor Dankner, and Guy Ben Simhon, the Israel-based company is the brainchild of a team with deep roots in cybersecurity, automation, and developer tools.

Building the Missing Bridge Between AI Reasoning and Real-World Execution

While the rise of large language models (LLMs) such as GPT has revolutionized reasoning, summarization, and planning, most AI systems still cannot reliably perform actions on the web. Websites are constantly changing, APIs are often unavailable, and dynamic user interfaces break fragile automation scripts. Anchor Browser addresses this fundamental gap by turning any web interface into a stable and programmable surface that AI agents can understand and act upon.

Industry analysts estimate that the autonomous AI agent market will reach $70 billion by 2030, driven by enterprises racing to operationalize AI in real-world workflows. Anchor’s technology offers a pathway toward that vision, enabling AI systems to execute end-to-end processes across complex websites, enterprise tools, and data environments — safely and at scale.

With this new funding, the company is launching b0.dev, a flagship solution designed to automate browser-based tasks with unprecedented reliability. Unlike traditional automation tools, which re-run AI logic at every execution step, b0.dev separates planning and execution, ensuring tasks are pre-optimized and resilient to UI changes. This allows AI agents to perform repetitive work — from data entry to cross-platform coordination — at human-level precision with machine-level consistency.

“Agentic AI is only as useful as its ability to act,” said Idan Raman, CEO and co-founder of Anchor Browser. “Today, acting means operating on the web — the universal interface of business. Our mission is to make that possible securely, reliably, and at scale. The faster we help organizations embed AI into their existing workflows, the faster they realize real-world value.”

From Developer Experimentation to Enterprise-Grade Automation

Anchor has already attracted adoption from companies like Groq, Unify, and Browser-use, as well as partners including Cloudflare and Coinbase, who rely on the company’s infrastructure to enable secure, scalable web automation.

While traditional browser automation frameworks simulate interactions in abstract layers, Anchor’s platform renders the full visual web, allowing AI agents to experience and interact with the internet just as a human would — clicking, scrolling, interpreting layouts, and responding dynamically to real-time changes. This level of realism enhances both accuracy and resilience, allowing organizations to confidently deploy AI agents in mission-critical operations.

“Anchor has one of the best developer experiences in the industry,” said Benjamin Klieger, builder at Groq. “Its APIs are intuitive and its documentation is incredibly clear. We built our MVP in less than an hour and used Anchor to spin up multiple parallel browsers powering Compound, our research agent. It’s fast, stable, and delightful to use.”

This focus on developer experience has become a defining factor in Anchor’s early momentum. Developers can test, scale, and manage browser-based workflows through a unified cloud platform, eliminating the reliability issues that have long plagued AI-driven automation.

Investor Confidence in AI Infrastructure for the Future

Investors see Anchor’s technology as an essential component of the next layer of AI infrastructure.

“Agentic AI needs a bridge between reasoning and execution — and that bridge is the browser,” said Bruce Taragin, Managing Director at Blumberg Capital and board member at Anchor. “As enterprises move from experimentation to production-scale AI, reliability and security are critical. Anchor brings the precision of cloud engineering and the rigor of cybersecurity to this emerging automation layer.”

Vig Sachidananda, Partner at Gradient Ventures, added: “We’ve seen the challenges of browser automation — speed, reliability, and security. Anchor’s solution directly tackles these, transforming what was once a developer tool into a core infrastructure layer every enterprise can depend on.”

As the agentic AI ecosystem matures, analysts predict that browser-based automation will become the de facto standard interface between intelligent agents and the digital world — and Anchor is positioning itself as the platform powering that transformation.

Revmatics.ai Introduces RevTech: An AI-Driven Marketing Intelligence Platform Empowering CMOs to Turn Untapped Data into Growth

LEHI, UT – 25/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – As the marketing industry moves deeper into the age of automation and data intelligence, one fact has become clear: artificial intelligence is no longer an optional advantage—it is the foundation of modern marketing strategy. Yet despite its proven ability to drive growth, efficiency, and precision, a large portion of marketing leaders continue to lag behind the curve. According to a recent study, more than one in four Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) report limited or no use of AI tools within their organizations. The consequences are becoming evident: companies that embrace AI-driven technologies are rapidly outpacing competitors still relying on intuition and manual analysis.

Against this backdrop, Revmatics.ai, an emerging innovator in marketing technology, has unveiled its groundbreaking RevTech platform, a suite of AI-enabled tools designed to help CMOs unlock new dimensions of performance, clarity, and profitability. The launch arrives at a critical juncture, offering a bridge between early adopters of AI marketing and those who remain cautious or uncertain about its value.

Founder and CEO Ricky Ray Butler, a long-time advocate for data-driven creativity, emphasizes that the future of marketing depends not on the volume of data brands collect, but on how effectively they transform that data into revenue-generating insights. “Every brand today is sitting on a goldmine of data,” Butler said. “The challenge is that most of it—up to 80%—remains unstructured, unused, and ultimately wasted. Our goal with RevTech is to make that data work for you, guiding real marketing decisions and accelerating growth.”

From Dormant Data to Dynamic Insights

The RevTech platform was built on a simple but profound premise: that data, when properly structured and analyzed, can reveal patterns that fundamentally reshape how marketers understand and engage their audiences.

RevTech performs what Butler calls a “digital data sync,” integrating a brand’s sales history, CRM data, advertising performance, and customer feedback with Revmatics’ proprietary datasets. The platform then applies AI-driven pattern recognition to uncover relationships between audience behavior, message resonance, and conversion likelihood—transforming static data points into actionable insights.

The platform’s Audience Intelligence feature identifies high-value segments by analyzing psychographic, behavioral, and contextual signals across multiple channels. For CMOs, this means moving beyond surface-level demographics to understand not just who their audience is, but why they act. This deeper insight enables more strategic messaging, precise targeting, and the creation of content that resonates emotionally and behaviorally.

“Data without context is noise,” Butler explained. “RevTech transforms that noise into a clear narrative—helping CMOs connect the dots between audience emotion, media placement, and creative performance.”

Enabling Smarter, Predictive Decision-Making

The RevTech dashboard suite gives CMOs a comprehensive, cross-platform view of campaign effectiveness, complete with AI-enhanced predictive analytics. By tracking performance metrics across media channels—search, social, video, and influencer marketing—the platform enables leaders to visualize ROI in real time and make strategic adjustments based on projected outcomes.

RevTech’s predictive modeling can forecast which audiences are most likely to convert, which creatives will perform best, and which budget allocations will yield the highest return. For example, if a campaign begins underperforming on one platform, the AI engine can automatically reallocate budget to channels demonstrating stronger engagement—ensuring every marketing dollar contributes to measurable results.

Butler emphasized that automation does not mean loss of control: “Our system doesn’t replace human creativity; it empowers it. CMOs can set optimization rules around metrics like click-through rate, cost-per-acquisition, or conversion value, and RevTech executes those adjustments autonomously, within defined parameters. It’s like giving your marketing strategy a co-pilot that works 24/7.”

Revolutionizing the Creative Process

Beyond analytics, RevTech provides a Creator Collaboration Suite, integrating content intelligence with influencer management tools. By merging brand data with AI-generated audience personas, the platform can instantly produce Creator Lists—curated databases of vetted influencers whose audience profiles align with the brand’s strategic goals.

This feature simplifies partnership selection, saving marketing teams hours of research and negotiation while ensuring brand consistency. With the influencer marketing industry projected to reach $30 billion by 2025, Revmatics’ technology offers CMOs a scalable, data-backed approach to managing creator collaborations.

Another key innovation, CRO Studio, streamlines conversion optimization workflows by running controlled experiments on creative variations, landing pages, and CTAs. The AI learns from user behavior patterns and continuously refines campaigns to improve conversion rates over time—creating a cycle of self-optimizing marketing intelligence.

“The truth is, AI doesn’t replace marketing strategy—it refines it,” said Butler. “It lets teams spend less time guessing and more time creating meaningful customer connections.”

Driving the Future of AI-Powered Marketing

With its integrated ecosystem of audience insights, real-time optimization, and predictive modeling, RevTech represents a fundamental shift in how marketing leaders approach growth. It transforms complex, fragmented data into a single, actionable framework that drives decisions with precision and confidence.

Revmatics.ai’s early adopters have already reported significant improvements in both marketing efficiency and return on ad spend. Brands using the platform have noted enhanced ability to identify underperforming campaigns, reallocate resources strategically, and measure performance across all channels with previously unattainable clarity.

As AI continues to evolve, Revmatics.ai’s RevTech is poised to become a cornerstone for forward-thinking CMOs—those ready to lead the next era of marketing through intelligence, automation, and creativity.

Expedite Expands Hybrid Delivery Platform to Give Restaurants Greater Autonomy, Intelligence, and Efficiency

HORSHAM, PENNSYLVANIA – 25/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In an industry where customer expectations evolve as fast as technology itself, restaurants are racing to redefine delivery as a seamless extension of the dining experience. Meeting this challenge head-on, Expedite today announced the expansion of its hybrid delivery app — an intelligent platform designed to give restaurant operators unprecedented control over their delivery networks. By merging AI-driven logistics with a nationwide network of professional Expediters, the company is bridging the gap between traditional in-house delivery and modern, data-powered distribution.

This milestone marks a pivotal evolution for restaurants striving to navigate the complex landscape of off-premise operations. The new release allows operators to directly harness the same trusted driver technology that fuels Expedite’s own professional delivery workforce — empowering them to oversee every phase of the customer journey, from digital order receipt to final doorstep delivery, and even post-delivery reputation management.

At the heart of Expedite’s innovation lies its driver app, now available to restaurant operators as part of a larger vision to unify delivery management. The app combines AI-based driver matching, precise order tracking, and real-time visibility dashboards, creating a hybrid system where in-house drivers, third-party couriers, and Expedite’s on-demand Expediters operate together in harmony. This unified model gives restaurants the flexibility to allocate resources intelligently, respond dynamically to surges in demand, and maintain consistent service standards without sacrificing visibility or data integrity.

“Restaurants have told us time and again that what they need isn’t just more drivers — it’s more clarity,” said Chris Heffernan, CEO of dlivrd Technologies, the parent company behind Expedite. “By opening access to our driver app, we’re giving operators the same professional tools that power our Expediters nationwide. They can now manage their teams, integrate third-party support, and scale delivery operations without losing oversight. It’s all part of our mission to create an interconnected ecosystem that merges ordering, delivery, and brand reputation management into one seamless platform.”

The initial rollout of the hybrid delivery solution has generated strong enthusiasm from pilot users across the United States and Canada. Early adopters report a 40–60% improvement in delivery visibility and operational responsiveness. Many restaurants have successfully balanced internal and external delivery teams, enabling them to scale profitably while maintaining full brand control. Beyond efficiency gains, operators have highlighted that hybrid delivery introduces a new dimension of agility — one that allows them to handle unexpected volume spikes during peak hours or promotional campaigns, all while maintaining cost predictability and service consistency.

The platform’s reporting and analytics suite has also been praised for its ability to simplify complex data streams into actionable insights. Through real-time dashboards, operators can track key metrics such as delivery times, driver performance, and customer satisfaction scores — all within one interface. This data intelligence layer, central to Expedite’s technology stack, transforms delivery operations from reactive logistics to proactive performance management.

As Expedite’s presence continues to expand, the company has set its sights on international growth. Following its success across North America, Expedite plans to extend access to its hybrid delivery technology to the United Kingdom in 2026, a market where restaurant-managed delivery remains the dominant model. The early-access program is now open through a limited waitlist, with onboarding beginning in January 2026. Interested operators can register for priority access at www.expedite.io.

About Expedite

Expedite is a next-generation delivery management platform designed for businesses that demand flexibility without sacrificing control. By integrating AI-driven driver matching, real-time order tracking, and unified fleet management tools, Expedite empowers operators to manage in-house, third-party, or hybrid delivery models within a single connected ecosystem. The platform’s data intelligence capabilities help restaurants improve delivery efficiency, close operational gaps, and scale effortlessly across markets — all while preserving brand standards and customer trust.

Florida Trend Honors Estimating Edge as a Premier Workplace, Highlighting Its Deep Commitment to Employee Growth and Well-Being

BOYNTON BEACH, FL – 24/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In today’s competitive business landscape, creating a workplace where employees genuinely thrive has become a defining mark of exceptional leadership. Estimating Edge, a leading provider of construction estimating software solutions, exemplifies this principle. The company has been recognized by Florida Trend magazine as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Florida, reaffirming its position as not only a technological innovator but also a model of people-first corporate culture.

The annual Florida Trend ranking evaluates organizations across the state through a comprehensive employee survey process that measures engagement, satisfaction, communication, leadership effectiveness, and workplace well-being. Companies that make the list are those that successfully integrate innovation, empathy, and opportunity into their organizational DNA — and Estimating Edge’s inclusion is a testament to that philosophy in action.

According to Estimating Edge Sales Director Dave Chapman, the award underscores a long-standing company belief: that business success begins and ends with people. “We’ve built this company on the belief that people matter most,” Chapman shared. “Every decision we make, from product innovation to how we structure work-life balance, reflects that commitment. This recognition is really about our people — those who bring energy, creativity, and integrity to what we do every day.”

At the heart of Estimating Edge’s success lies a culture of trust, accountability, and continuous learning. The company fosters open-door communication at all levels, ensuring that employee voices are heard and valued. Regular feedback sessions, leadership transparency, and internal mentorship programs are all designed to empower employees and help them take ownership of their professional growth. This approach not only strengthens team cohesion but also creates an environment where collaboration and innovation flourish naturally.

The company’s people-first philosophy extends far beyond internal communication. Estimating Edge places equal emphasis on employee well-being and personal fulfillment, offering flexible work schedules, comprehensive wellness programs, and a suite of perks designed to make everyday life a little easier and more enjoyable. Employees enjoy thoughtful benefits such as personal food deliveries, gas cards, and movie tickets — small but meaningful gestures that reflect a genuine investment in happiness and morale.

Training and professional development form another cornerstone of the company’s success. Estimating Edge provides employees with opportunities for continued education, including access to industry certifications, leadership workshops, and technology skill-building sessions. This ongoing investment in talent ensures that team members remain at the forefront of construction technology trends while feeling supported in their personal career ambitions.

For Chapman, sustaining this award-winning culture is not about resting on past achievements but about continuous improvement. “Recognition like this motivates us to keep raising the bar,” he explained. “We know that when our people feel supported and valued, they bring their best selves to work. And when that happens, everything else — innovation, client success, and long-term growth — follows naturally.”

With its latest recognition from Florida Trend, Estimating Edge not only celebrates an external validation of its culture but also reinforces its broader mission: to build a company where people thrive just as much as the products they create. In doing so, Estimating Edge continues to set the standard for how modern construction technology firms can balance performance with purpose — proving that when a company prioritizes people, success is the inevitable outcome.

AirDroid Business Introduces Next-Generation Content Management Service to Power Smarter, Unified Device Experiences

SINGAPORE, SG – 23/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In an age where every screen can serve as a window for communication, AirDroid Business has unveiled a major evolution in remote device management—launching its new Content Management Service, a feature-rich extension to its enterprise mobility platform that aims to redefine how businesses interact with and leverage their Android devices.

This newly introduced service represents a strategic expansion of AirDroid Business’s mission: empowering organizations to seamlessly manage, distribute, and control multimedia content across vast device networks—whether attended or unattended. From POS systems and self-service kiosks to interactive tablets and digital billboards, AirDroid’s new system transforms ordinary endpoints into dynamic hubs for information sharing, advertising, and engagement.

More than just a technical enhancement, the Content Management Service signifies a shift toward intelligent infrastructure utilization, helping enterprises maximize the return on their existing hardware while reducing operational complexity. As hybrid retail, digital education, and multimedia industries accelerate their adoption of smart connected systems, AirDroid Business’s platform offers a critical toolset to ensure content is always fresh, relevant, and securely deployed—anytime, anywhere.

Bridging Content and Control: A Unified Platform for Modern Businesses

At the heart of the update lies a fully integrated Media Library, a cloud-synchronized content repository that allows organizations to upload, categorize, and distribute all digital assets—from videos and promotional images to internal training materials—with minimal friction. Files can be added directly from local computers or linked via cloud storage, creating a single, structured hub that simplifies collaboration across departments.

Once content is uploaded, Bulk File Distribution capabilities enable IT administrators to push updates to hundreds or even thousands of devices simultaneously. This feature eliminates manual uploads, reduces downtime, and guarantees brand consistency across remote sites—essential for franchises, retail chains, and distributed educational campuses.

But AirDroid’s innovation goes further. The new Presentation Mode introduces two unique display experiences:

• Digital Signage Kiosk Mode: Locks devices for uninterrupted, looped playback of curated content, ensuring uninterrupted messaging in locations such as malls, hotel lobbies, or transport terminals.
• Screensaver Mode: Activates automatically during idle periods on interactive devices, such as POS terminals, allowing businesses to display announcements, seasonal promotions, or interactive campaigns during downtime.

Complementing these modes is a Flexible Scheduling System, giving users the ability to define specific times and frequencies for content delivery—so messages reach the right audience at the optimal moment.

Tailored for Diverse Industries: Real Impact Across Sectors

AirDroid Business’s Content Management Service is designed to meet the needs of multiple industries, each facing unique challenges in managing digital assets across distributed endpoints.

• Digital Advertising and Media: Advertising networks can now automate large-scale content distribution across screens and billboards. The platform’s dedicated kiosk mode ensures uninterrupted playback and content protection, allowing agencies to schedule campaigns, synchronize promotions, and maintain real-time control over remote displays—all from a single dashboard.
• Retail: Store owners can effortlessly repurpose idle POS systems or tablets as digital signboards. Whether displaying product highlights, loyalty programs, or limited-time offers, the solution boosts in-store engagement and helps retailers turn passive waiting times into active marketing opportunities.
• Education: Schools and universities gain a reliable system for communicating with students and faculty. From broadcasting campus alerts and announcements to sharing digital learning materials, the system ensures timely and efficient information dissemination across classrooms and common areas.

By integrating content distribution with AirDroid Business’s robust monitoring and remote troubleshooting capabilities, organizations can ensure 24/7 uptime, rapid issue resolution, and reduced on-site maintenance costs. The result is a more connected, responsive, and resilient digital ecosystem.

Reimagining Device Value: From Hardware to Communication Hubs

For many organizations, large-scale deployment of Android devices has traditionally focused on functionality—payment, registration, or information access. AirDroid Business’s upgrade reframes this paradigm, transforming these endpoints into dynamic communication tools that can deliver brand messages, corporate updates, and contextual information in real time.

This not only extends the lifecycle and utility of existing hardware but also introduces a new dimension of operational efficiency. With centralized control, companies can adapt faster to market changes, run targeted campaigns across multiple geographies, and maintain full visibility into content performance and device health.

The implications extend far beyond cost savings. AirDroid Business’s platform effectively blends IT management with marketing strategy, giving enterprises the agility to turn digital infrastructure into a storytelling medium—one that connects brands and audiences through data-driven engagement.

A Step Toward the Future of Smart Device Management

With this upgrade, AirDroid Business reinforces its position as a leader in enterprise Android device management. Its new Content Management Service demonstrates how intelligent software integration can unlock hidden potential within existing device fleets—bridging the gap between IT operations, marketing, and communication strategies.

As global organizations continue to embrace digital transformation, solutions like AirDroid Business’s platform will play a vital role in enabling businesses to stay connected, informed, and competitive in a rapidly changing environment.

AbsenceSoft Opens LeaveLab to the Entire HR Community, Redefining Collaboration in Leave and Accommodations Management

GOLDEN, CO – 22/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In an era where employee wellbeing and compliance intersect more tightly than ever, HR professionals are grappling with unprecedented demands to balance empathy, regulation, and efficiency. Responding to this growing complexity, AbsenceSoft—the leading technology platform for absence management and accommodations—has announced a major expansion of its LeaveLab community. What began as a members-only resource for AbsenceSoft customers is now transforming into an open, industry-wide ecosystem designed to elevate the way HR leaders, partners, and organizations manage leave and workplace accommodations.

The expanded LeaveLab by AbsenceSoft aims to become the definitive knowledge and connection hub for professionals navigating leave laws, workforce accommodations, and compliance management. It represents more than just a repository of resources—it is envisioned as a living, collaborative platform where HR teams, industry experts, and partners can engage directly to share insights, exchange best practices, and explore strategies that empower both employees and organizations alike.

The Rising Importance of Leave and Accommodation Programs

Across industries, the demand for more flexible, inclusive, and compliant leave programs has never been higher. Employees increasingly expect personalized support when dealing with family, medical, and accessibility-related needs, and companies are discovering that effective leave management is now central to retention and recruitment success. According to industry surveys, over 57% of HR leaders cite retention as their top challenge in 2025—a figure underscoring how deeply workplace experience impacts organizational resilience.

Yet, poor management of leave programs can have the opposite effect: disengaged employees, compliance risks, and higher turnover. AbsenceSoft’s LeaveLab addresses this challenge by offering HR professionals the collective intelligence, compliance guidance, and community they need to lead with confidence in an ever-shifting legal and social landscape.

What LeaveLab Offers

At its core, LeaveLab by AbsenceSoft provides HR professionals and partners with a one-stop platform that blends practical tools, collaborative learning, and data-driven insights.

1. Exclusive Resources and Tools
   Members gain access to a growing repository of ready-to-use materials—state-by-state policy guides, compliance checklists, customizable templates, and diagnostic assessments—designed to streamline HR workflows and reduce legal uncertainty.
2. Learning and Development Opportunities
   LeaveLab fosters a culture of continuous growth through specialized workshops, networking sessions, and thought leadership events. Members can attend sessions led by industry veterans and legal experts, exchange strategies with peers, and implement new processes that make leave management both compliant and human-centric.
3. Community Connections and Partnerships
   The platform serves as a professional network connecting HR teams with third-party administrators (TPAs), professional employer organizations (PEOs), and solution partners. This collaborative directory supports both knowledge exchange and business development while enabling participants to benchmark against industry standards and access real-world case studies.
4. Insights, Intelligence, and Innovation
   LeaveLab members receive exclusive access to timely legal updates, evolving compliance trends, and proprietary AbsenceSoft research—giving HR leaders the foresight to make informed, proactive decisions. Advanced analytics, industry maturity reports, and interactive surveys help members stay ahead of emerging trends and evolving workforce expectations.

A Platform Built for Connection, Growth, and Shared Expertise

AbsenceSoft’s CEO, Jess Keeney, emphasized that the initiative was inspired by the real-world struggles HR professionals face in isolation.

“HR leaders are often navigating complex, emotionally charged leave situations without peers who truly understand the nuances,” Keeney said. “By opening LeaveLab to the broader community, we’re creating a shared space where expertise meets empathy, and where partners and professionals alike can collaborate to advance the entire discipline.”

Early adopters are already seeing the benefits. Elle Emerson, Senior HR Data Strategist at WaFd Bank, praised the initiative, noting,

“AbsenceSoft’s community feels like a one-stop shop for HR help. It’s where I can find resources, connect with others, and access education—all in one place. It saves time and gives me confidence that I’m managing leave programs effectively.”

Looking Ahead: Leadership Summit in Philadelphia

As part of its broader commitment to advancing the HR discipline, AbsenceSoft will host its upcoming Leave & Accommodations Leadership Summit on October 28, 2025, at The Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia. The event will unite senior HR executives and industry thought leaders to discuss the impact of AI and automation on leave management, explore real-world success stories, and participate in interactive breakout sessions.

The summit exemplifies AbsenceSoft’s mission to not only provide software but also foster a professional ecosystem where shared intelligence, innovation, and leadership development drive industry-wide progress.

Living Security’s Human Risk Platform Drives Cultural Cybersecurity Shift Across 10,000-Person Utility Workforce

AUSTIN, TEXAS – 21/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In the American Southwest, a large electric and water utility faced a challenge familiar to many critical infrastructure providers: despite robust technical defenses, the human side of cybersecurity remained largely uncharted territory. Employees clicked phishing links at unpredictable rates, behavioral data was fragmented, and management lacked a clear understanding of where the most significant human risk truly lived. Recognizing that traditional compliance training could not solve what was essentially a behavioral visibility problem, the organization turned to Living Security — a pioneer in Human Risk Management (HRM) — to uncover and reduce hidden workforce vulnerabilities through data, measurement, and intelligent intervention.

Over the course of twelve months, the results were transformative. Using Living Security’s Unify platform, the utility not only doubled its Human Risk Index (HRI) but also achieved three times greater visibility into risky user behavior without increasing workload for its staff. Through automation and data-driven insights, the company streamlined phishing response, saving security analysts hours each week, and saw measurable improvement in late-week vigilance — the period when fatigue and distraction most often led to errors.

Turning Invisible Risk into Measurable Outcomes

Before deploying Unify, the utility’s security leaders knew that unmeasured risk existed but could not pinpoint where or how to act. “We had strong controls, yet we were flying blind when it came to human behavior,” said one security executive involved in the project. “Living Security gave us the ability to see patterns we didn’t even know existed.”

The project began with a six-to-eight-month baseline study that collected anonymized behavioral and threat data to establish a foundation. Once patterns emerged, Living Security introduced Behavior Scorecards, personalized dashboards that allowed each employee to understand their individual risk profile — from phishing tendencies to password reuse and endpoint hygiene. Unlike one-size-fits-all training modules, these insights enabled the company to deliver contextual micro-training that addressed specific weaknesses while empowering staff to improve proactively.

The approach followed what Living Security CEO and Co-founder Ashley Rose calls the “HRM Blueprint”: observe first, act with intention, and measure change. “This utility turned what was invisible into outcomes leadership can fund,” Rose explained. “They moved from reactive awareness to strategic behavior change — and that’s the future of cyber resilience.”

Research-Backed Outcomes Reflect Industry Momentum

Independent data supports these results. According to the 2025 Cyentia Institute State of Human Cyber Risk Report, organizations using Living Security solutions experience, on average, three times greater visibility into human risk, expanding to five times as integrations and behavioral signals multiply. This alignment between real-world customer outcomes and industry benchmarks highlights the growing maturity of Human Risk Management as a measurable discipline — one increasingly seen as essential to operational resilience.

For the utility, visibility was only the beginning. The Unify platform allowed leadership to correlate individual and team behavior with security outcomes, transforming risk data into actionable intelligence. By automatically surfacing the top 10% of high-risk users and triggering targeted interventions in real time, Unify not only reduced overall human risk exposure by more than 90% but also provided a defensible way to demonstrate ROI on awareness programs — a longstanding challenge in cybersecurity culture initiatives.

A Broader Industry Shift Toward Human-Centric Defense

Living Security’s upcoming flagship event, HRMCon 2025, will showcase how leading organizations are operationalizing these same capabilities. This year’s virtual conference promises to unveil new advancements for managing both human and “agentic” risk — bridging the gap between human decision-making and AI-driven automation.

The case of this utility underscores a broader shift in cybersecurity philosophy: as organizations move beyond compliance-based awareness training, they are adopting Human Risk Management as a data discipline. By quantifying behavior and linking it directly to operational metrics, companies are turning cultural transformation into a science — and making human-centric defense measurable at scale.

About Living Security

Founded with the mission to humanize security awareness, Living Security has become the global leader in Human Risk Management (HRM). Its Unify platform integrates behavioral, identity, and threat data across the enterprise to deliver up to 5× greater visibility into human risk than traditional compliance programs. By fusing AI-driven analysis with human expertise, Unify identifies the small percentage of users responsible for the majority of risk and automates timely, personalized interventions.

Named a Global Leader in Human Risk Management by Forrester, and trusted by enterprises such as Unilever, Mastercard, Merck, and Abbott Laboratories, Living Security empowers organizations to move beyond awareness and into measurable action. As cyber threats evolve, the company continues to prove that visibility — not volume — is the new frontier of security resilience.
