Sparrow

Sparrow is heading to DMEC 2026! We're exhibiting at this year's Annual Conference in Nashville, and presenting a panel session: "The Caregiving Crisis at Work: Supporting the Sandwich Generation in Today's Workforce." Average caregiving leave duration jumped from roughly 12 days in 2020 to 50 days in 2025. By 2030, the US is projected to have more people who need care than workers available to give it. Most leave and disability programs were never built for that reality. Join Sarah Fitzmaurice, Sparrow's Chief Customer Officer, Trey Boynton, Chief Diversity and People Officer, Chief, and Jesse Matton, Director of Corporate Social Impact Policies, National Partnership for Women & Families as they unpack how caregiving is reshaping absence patterns and workforce stability, and what employers can do about it. 📍 Gaylord Opryland Resort, Nashville 🗓️ Wednesday, August 5, 3:15-4:15 PM 🎤 The Caregiving Crisis at Work: Supporting the Sandwich Generation in Today's Workforce Find us at our booth all week, August 3-6. We'd love to connect. #LeaveManagement #HRTech #DMEC2026 #FlyWithSparrow

When your People team is lean and priorities are pulling in every direction, leave management can't be the thing that slows you down. Snapdocs has employees across 35 states, which means every leave comes with its own set of regulations, payroll adjustments, and employee touchpoints to manage. For a team already juggling competing priorities, they needed to switch to a partner who could own leave end to end. With Sparrow, it found one. Compliance, custom payroll support, state filings, and employee communication are all handled without the back and forth. Myra Zheng, Senior People Operations Manager, simply introduces an employee to the Sparrow team and steps back. "With a lean team, we're all wearing multiple hats. Having Sparrow means I don't have to worry about employee leave management. I can focus on building for the future." 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/genGYBjW #PeopleOps #HRTech #LeaveManagement #FlyWithSparrow

Leave management touches a lot of people at once. Employees navigating time away. Payroll teams reconciling payments. HR making sure nothing slips through. 💡 At Seismic, a global leader in AI-powered enablement software, all of those pieces needed to work together seamlessly. With Sparrow, they do. Support tickets dropped dramatically once employees had a dedicated point of contact. Payroll runs on a consistent cycle. And employees have a Leave Specialist by their side from day one. As Allison Dunsmore, Director of Talent Operations, put it: "Being able to rely on a subject matter expert, someone who makes sure you're providing the right information and sending everything at the right time, it's honestly priceless." Sparrow handles: 📄 Compliance and paperwork end to end 💰 Automatic payroll calculations and custom reports 🤝 1:1 employee guidance from intake to return 👀 Dashboard access for HR and managers 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ggAY-QSt #PeopleOps #HRTech #LeaveManagement #TotalRewards #FlyWithSparrow

If your leave process feels messy, manual, and harder than it should be, you're not imagining it. Most systems weren't built for how leave actually works today. There's a simpler, more structured way to do this. Book a demo and take a look at Sparrow: https://sparrow.com/demo/

When employees go on leave, they deserve to feel taken care of. Not left in the dark. They want to understand what's happening with clear communication from the get-go. Confidence that their pay and benefits are being handled correctly. A process they can actually navigate without spending hours chasing paperwork or trying to figure out who to contact next. And when something gets overly complicated, they want to be able to talk to a real person. That's a big part of what organizations are trying to solve right now, especially as leave becomes more complex across states, countries, and policies. At Sparrow, we build for all three. Clear guidance, full visibility into pay and benefits so nothing falls through the cracks, and real human expertise when it matters most. Because when employees feel supported during leave, it changes how they experience the company as a whole. Book a demo to learn more. http://sparrow.com/demo/

Payroll accuracy during leave is one of those things that's easy to underestimate until it becomes a problem. ⚡ For Electric Hydrogen, a clean hydrogen technology company, getting it right was a top priority. They needed a partner with the expertise to handle calculations accurately and consistently. As Julie Sattler, Total Rewards Business Partner, put it: "With Sparrow, our payroll team doesn't have to do any back and forth to reconcile payroll or double-check calculations, which they really appreciate." And that's just one piece. Sparrow also handles: 📄 Compliance and paperwork handled end to end 🤝 1:1 employee guidance from intake to return 📊 Benchmark reports to keep benefits competitive 👀 Full visibility for HR and managers throughout 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/giR_6_6M #PeopleOps #HRTech #LeaveManagement #TotalRewards #FlyWithSparrow

Leave management gets even more complex when most of your team is based in California, one of the most demanding states for leave compliance. At OmniAb, Inc., a therapeutic antibody discovery company, that complexity was reason enough to bring in Sparrow just a few months after getting started. Without a partner, OmniAb would've needed a dedicated full-time hire just to manage leave. With Sparrow, that load is covered end to end, for employees, managers, and HR alike. 📋 Custom leave plans for every employee 📄 State filings handled 👀 Full visibility through admin and manager dashboards 🤝 1:1 guidance for employees from start to finish As Kelly N., Senior Manager, People, put it: Sparrow's got it, so she doesn't have to wonder if employees are getting everything they need. 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gq47EQEG #PeopleOps #HRTech #LeaveManagement #FlyWithSparrow

130 million Americans are balancing caregiving with their jobs. Nearly 1 in 3 has left a job because of it. And yet, caregiving still rarely shows up in benefits strategy the way it should. Not because employers don't care, but because it's genuinely hard to know where to start. Who are your caregivers? What do they actually need? How do you build something that works across a workforce that looks different for every company? We partnered with The Sandwich Club to dig into those questions. The piece explores how HR leaders can move from awareness to action, and why understanding your specific workforce before building out support makes all the difference.

Today we're spotlighting Melanie Johnson, CEBS, PHR, SHRM-CP from our Sparrow Advisory Council. Melanie brings deep experience across benefits design, HR operations, and compliance, having built and scaled people programs at organizations ranging from fast-growing startups to established enterprises. Her understanding of the complexity behind leave, particularly the ever-shifting state law landscape, reflects exactly the kind of informed, employee-first thinking that helps organizations support their employees better. She puts it simply: "Sparrow is the future of leave management. Not only are they the warm, empathetic touch for employees going out on leave, they help People teams save so much time especially with the complexities and changes of the laws in a lot of states."
