Case Study: HoneyBook Improves Parental Leave Management with Cocoon

How new parents changed HoneyBook’s approach to employee leave

HoneyBook, a growing company with a generous parental leave policy, was managing employee leaves internally through spreadsheets and manual coordination. As two key employees prepared to take parental leave at the same time, the People and Finance team recognized that their homegrown process for handling payroll, claims, and leave planning was too complex and inconsistent to scale.

HoneyBook implemented Cocoon to manage parental and medical leave more smoothly, including planning, pay tracking, and claims support. With Cocoon, the employees taking leave were able to step away without having to handle leave logistics themselves, and HoneyBook gained a more accessible, employee-friendly process that reduced burden on HR and improved support for new parents.
