Expediting employee onboarding is extremely important for many healthcare organizations right now. An HRMS or Time and Labor system with a new hire onboarding portal is quick, easy, and compliant.

If you are onboarding multiple healthcare new hires at once, an HRMS is a must-have. A Human Resources Management System includes everything you need to manage onsite and offsite employees.

In this article, we will focus on the New Employee Onboarding Portal.

An HRMS includes:

  • Federal and state tax forms
  • Benefits enrollment and plan information
  • Employee handbook
  • Payroll setup
  • E-signature
  • Completion confirmation
  • WOTC application and filing
  • Background and reference checks

Does it take a long time to get new employees up to speed?

When you hire a new employee, you want them to start contributing as quickly as possible. In hospitals, clinics, and senior care facilities, it’s never been more important to get employee onboarding right.

Manual onboarding can be a big pain. Structured onboarding with an HRMS improves engagement, retention, and your overall employer brand.

When your new hire accepts your offer letter, your HRMS emails them a link to the New Employee Onboarding Portal.

The portal walks them through all the paperwork. Your administrators can monitor task completion. The new employee can fill out all the paperwork at home before they arrive at work their first day.

WorkforceHub Onboarding now has Ethics and Code of Conduct training!

An essential part of onboarding is to train new hires on compliance and document their understanding and agreement to follow the policies. Millions of U.S. employers are turning to Learning Management Systems (LMS) for affordable and effective employee compliance training. Swipeclock is excited to announce a new partnership with Syntrio, a premier LMS and provider of business ethics training. The Syntrio Ethics and Code of Conduct Course is now integrated into WorkforceHub onboarding. Administrators can include the Syntrio ethics training as part of the new hire process.

Make the first day less stressful

Take away the stress of the first day by telling them in advance where to park and how to clock in. An HRMS onboarding portal can send them a welcome email with all pertinent first-day information.

Ensure their manager or someone on their team greets them at the door. Make sure everyone on their team introduces themselves the first day. Set up thdeir workstation before they show up.

Don’t cram everything into the first day or week. Instead, prioritize establishing a relationship over completing processes.
