Reed Group

What Reed Group does

Reed Group is a leave and absence management solutions provider founded in 1975 and headquartered in Westminster, Colorado, United States. The company specializes in employee leave administration, absence management, and return-to-work support, serving mid-to-large employer organizations across the United States and Canada. Its product suite centers on LeavePro (a leave management software platform) and dedicated Leave Administration services, delivered through a multi-channel architecture that includes a 24/7 self-service web portal, an automated phone system, and chat/texting capabilities for employees and HR staff. The platform automates leave request intake, documentation, eligibility determinations, and compliance workflows, integrating with employer HR systems to reduce administrative burden.

The underlying technology combines rule-based absence eligibility engines with digital intake channels and content assets such as MDGuidelines and Reed Group's duration-of-disability guidelines, which inform return-to-work timing decisions. Reed Group's offerings address the complexity of overlapping leave regulations across U.S. federal, state, and Canadian jurisdictions (FMLA, ADA, state-level paid leave, etc.), positioning compliance expertise as a core value driver. Revenue is generated through subscription-based B2B contracts under per-employee-per-month or annual licensing arrangements, distributed via direct enterprise field sales, channel partners (brokers, consultants, carriers), and the Alight Partner Network.

Reed Group was acquired by Alight (NYSE: ALIT) in 2022 and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within Alight's broader human capital and benefits platform. Post-acquisition, Reed Group's leave management capabilities have been integrated into Alight's Absence Management solution suite under the Alight Worklife platform, which is powered by Alight LumenAI. Standalone Reed Group revenue is no longer publicly disclosed, and the subsidiary's performance is reported within Alight's Total Enterprise Health Cloud and Employer Services segments.
