Case Study: LA Clippers save HR time and streamline leave management with Sparrow

How the LA Clippers saved valuable HR time while building their new arena

The NBA's LA Clippers organization faced the challenge of managing employee leave internally while undergoing a major period of growth and preparing to open their new arena, the Intuit Dome. Their small HR team needed to find a more efficient system to handle complex leave administration without sacrificing the quality of support for their employees. To address this, the Clippers partnered with Sparrow for its full-service employee leave administration.

By implementing Sparrow's end-to-end service, the HR team was relieved of all administrative tasks, including compliance with complex laws, paperwork, and employee communication. This allowed them to reallocate their focus to critical talent acquisition and staffing efforts for the new arena. As a result, the LA Clippers successfully scaled their headcount from 180 to 350 employees, confident that their staff was receiving white-glove support during leave from the Sparrow team.
