What do you like best about Sparrow?

I love that my employees contact with one person from the beginning of their leave to the end. It's a much more comfortable feeling to have a direct point of contact versus calling a 800#. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sparrow?

I cannot think of a downside however it would be nice to see some statistical reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sparrow solving and how is that benefiting you?

The amount of leaves in the company continues to increase year over year and with so many states now offering leave benefits, the administration in house became overwhelming and Sparrow has taken that burden away from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sparrow?

Sparrow did everything for me during my leave process. In the middle of my leave, we actually switch to Sparrow from another company and Sparrow helped make it such a smooth transition. They didn't bother me with particulars or details, they got all that from the previous company or my employer. I truly felt supported and like I could really focus on me and my new baby because Sparrow had the rest! I already gave glowing feedback to my company for switching to Sparrow. Couldn't be happier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sparrow?

Honestly nothing. I had a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sparrow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sparrow handled all of the paperwork. This helped me focus on me and my new baby vs. having to figure out all the stressful paperwork / state processes, etc. They contacted my doctor on my behalf, submitted all the information to the state, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sparrow?

Having an email address and someone to ask questions direclty to at Sparrow made the whole process really easy - and it was so appreicated to have someone to nagivate the logisitics of taking leave so I could focus on my family as we were in a time of crisis.

My state even had a brand new paid family leave program and I was one of the first, if not the first, to use it with Sparrow and Priyanka was able to give me step-by-step instructions on how to use it and made it really easy to fill out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sparrow?

I didn't find anything to dislike about Sparrow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sparrow solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was taking paid caregiver leave to care for my toddler who had broken his leg. Sparrow is the company my company uses to manage leaves of absence and I'm so glad they do - it was such an easy process and the help/support was extremely welcomed during a stressful time!

What do you like best about Sparrow?

I enjoyed have a dedicated Leave Specialist. They would check-in with me over email to gather important dates, remind me of items I needed to complete (and helped with the completion on my behalf), and provide information about my leave. During the arrival of a new child, life is chaotic but Sparrow helped manage all of the work-related needs. They even worked with me over my personal email, so I didn't have to log into a work email! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sparrow?

There wasn't much I disliked about Sparrow. I was new to a service like this, so it took me a minute to understand what the service was and how to best use it. Once I was introduced by my employer, it was very straightforward! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sparrow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sparrow assited with managing my leave of absense for paternity. It provided a central contact throughout the process, ensuring that dates were being logged correctly, documentation was being submitted on my behalf, and important deadlines were being communicated (adding my child to insurance).

What do you like best about Sparrow?

My Sparrow benefit assistant provided clear timelines and ensured proper payment from the various agencies during my maternity leave. She was always responsive and timely, while remaining patient in understanding my natural reponse delays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sparrow?

The only downside was some initial confusion about who should be working with/responding to the various disability and benefit payors, but aside from some confusion on my part, I really didn't find any other issues! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sparrow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Outlining timelines and payment schedules for my maternity leave. The State in which I reside in different than others, and the payments can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
