Cocoon is leave management software for the modern era
Why we do it:
It's fascinating and baffling how complicated the process of taking leave is today. People spend hours talking to reps, sifting through dozens of government and insurance claims just to get the time off and income they’re owed — all during some of the most stressful, busy moments of their lives. On the employer side, administering leave is equally confusing, arduous, and stressful. One HR professional sums it up well:
“Leave is one of the thorns in the HR person’s side unless you have a full-fledged compliance person in-house. It takes a lot of time and coordination. It’s nerve-wracking making sure you’re coordinating everything between federal and state laws, getting it right with payroll, and also informing the employee along the way.”
Existing solutions are service-based: reliant on humans, often limited in scope, and fail to offer employees the seamless, well-designed user experience they have come to expect from workplace technology. In the past 15 years, productivity tools, SaaS products, and HR platforms have changed the way work gets done, yet leave management remains antiquated with no significant progress. At Cocoon, we believe that technology coupled with great design has the power to transform leave management for both employers and their people.
