Staker Parson's success story:

Managing leave for thousands, made easy.

See how Total Leave streamlined leave management for a large construction and materials company.

Delivering a smooth experience for HR and employees

As the sole administrator for 11,000 employees, Leave Administrator Danielle Blackett knows the value of efficiency. With Unum Total Leave, Blackett transformed leave administration into a seamless experience for both HR and employees.

        
“Early in my career, I worked for a company with 3,000 employees. We did everything in-house with a team of six. Now, it’s just me for 11,000 employees. I wouldn’t be able to do it without Total Leave.”

A seamless and scalable leave solution

When employees go out on leave, the goal is simple: make the process stress-free. With Total Leave, employees easily access information and key steps related to their leave or claim, giving HR time to focus on people, not process.

        
“It has made a huge impact on my life: I just track the data and the employee gets to be out, get better and then come back to work.”

Built-in compliance you can count on

Of all the issues facing leave admins, Blackett identifies compliance and regulation as her main challenge — especially as state-level regulations continue to be introduced (and delayed) nationwide. The attendant paperwork is not just confusing and time-sensitive, it’s critical to avoiding legal risk. Just one example from the HR trenches: managing and tracking FMLA certification forms.

        
“It’s difficult to stay on top of changes, dealing with state leave claims that are constantly coming up and states creating new leaves. You constantly have to be monitoring that information.”

Commitment to communication and collaboration

With Unum, managing employee benefits has become a streamlined, step-by-step process that dramatically reduces administrative burden. What once required a team of six is now handled by a single person — thanks to the reliability and responsiveness of the Unum support team. Their quick, knowledgeable assistance ensures that any issue is resolved efficiently, making it possible to deliver exceptional care with confidence and ease.

The Total Leave team serves as an extension of the Staker Parson HR team with a high level of communication, responsiveness and expertise. It is this collaboration and teamwork that allows Blackett to handle the scale of leave management required for a large employer.

        
“I feel very comfortable caring for 11,000 employees because of Total Leave and the Unum team behind me. Even though it’s virtual and we’ve never met, the relationship feels very close. My job is with Unum. Everything I do is around and with Unum, and I couldn't do my job without them. We are just one team.”
