PeopleAdmin Unveils New Hire Onboarding Tool
PeopleAdmin,
a company that provides human
resources software for education, has unveiled a product designed to help new
employees
work through the hiring process.
The
onboarding automation tool, Onboard, is
intended to work though the checklist tasks that come with hiring new
teachers
and support staff, leaving human resources officers time to engage with
new
employees personally. It is designed to cut down on the amount of
paperwork
required by new employees and staff, as well as the errors inherent
with manual
procedures.
"We
believe that a positive K-12 onboarding
experience can make a considerable difference in a school's — or an
entire
district's — ability to attract and retain new employees and decrease
the cost
of recruitment," said PeopleAdmin CEO Kermit S. Randa. "Onboard really
sets the
foundation for a well engaged employee who can champion the school's
mission
right from the start and throughout their tenure."
Onboard
will integrate fully with PeopleAdmin's
Recruit & Hire software and its SearchSoft applicant tracking
system with
single sign-on capabilities. Onboard users can also upgrade to the
Records
software that will allow HR personnel to automate contracts and exit
and
personnel action forms that are not available with Onboard.
"With
manual onboarding processes, HR
administrators don't usually get involved until there's a problem,"
said Mark
Frost, a PeopleAdmin advisor. "With Onboard, the administration can be
efficiently added to the process to monitor and ensure that all tasks
have been
completed."
While
K-12 versions of both Onboard and Records
are now available, a higher education version will be released later
this
spring.
