Every company or governmental agency has the requirement for multiple state, federal, and company unique forms to be completed prior to the new or transitioned employee beginning work. This process has, to-date, been performed on paper with much of the same information required on each form (name, contact information, family details, etc). A large amount of time is then spent, by the HR specialists, re-typing the information into various corporate information systems, e.g. HR, payroll, health benefits. Not only is this process time consuming, but it is notoriously prone to error. Our EODonline™ and newhireonline™ applications allow information to be entered into a simple user friendly interview style wizard and the data is then available to integrate directly into corporate systems.

Several of the forms are typically used to gather information so that the organization can prepare for the new employee's arrival, for example, by securing a computer loaded with the appropriate software, setting up an email address and phone number, issuing a security badge, parking sticker, and scheduling training. Our solution allows new hires to enter their information directly into the system over the internet, prior to their start date, so the organization can begin the provisioning process before the employee's first day of work. The goal is to reduce the amount of time the newly hired employee is unproductive, i.e. waiting for everything to be set up so that they can begin actual work.

According to the Aberdeen Group's Benchmark Report on 'Onboarding', seventy-one percent of commercial companies still need to transition their Onboarding process from a checklist to an experience in order to acclimate and engage their employees. Seventy-one percent of companies still have a reactive; emergency driven Onboarding process with little or no planning. Yet, the quality of a company's onboarding process, or lack thereof, significantly impacts retention rates and time to productivity.
