Taking leave from work can initially seem like an easy process, but in reality it’s often stressful and time-consuming for all involved. Employers must comply with ever-changing regulations at local, federal, and state levels which makes the leave process a legal minefield, and large quantities of paperwork must be tackled by many different departments.

• We have limited bandwidth - Our business has grown faster than our company. Leave affects everyone. Sparrow’s market is the intersection of people who have jobs and people who take time off work. We do not just lead this market. We invented it. This means that we need to work together to ensure we clearly understand the impact each project will have before we start working.
• We don't have all the answers - The problems we’re solving are beyond our current expertise, meaning that there is incredible room for growth for everyone joining Sparrow. We are willing to give enormous responsibilities to people at any stage of their career if they demonstrate the ability to run with them.
• We build for the long-term - Building a sustainable team and product is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe in investing time in planning, communication, training, and personal growth -- so that we are all able to have a lasting impact together.
