RealLife HR, a leading outsourced benefits management solution provider, today announced the addition of RealLife Welcome to its platform.

Hunt Valley, MD (January 30, 2006) - RealLife HR, a leading outsourced benefits management solution provider, today announced the addition of RealLife Welcome to its platform.  RealLife Welcome is an onboarding service that streamlines the process of successfully integrating new hires into an organization and helps employers ensure new employee success.  RealLife Welcome is part of the RealLife Services product suite.

The new Web-based onboarding service is designed to automate many of the time-consuming tasks associated with hiring new employees.  The system has the ability to track the completion of new hire activities and forms, present new hire communication and orientation activities online and streamline the new hire data flow.  To help process new employees faster, RealLife Welcome uses a centralized database to populate and manage forms as well as simplify the process of integrating the data into HR systems. 

"Since 1996, RealLife HR has excelled at managing employee data and communications," notes Sam Mayfield, senior vice president for the RealLife Services product line.  "As a result, we´ve had several requests from existing clients to expand our range of services to include new hire onboarding."

The easily customizable onboarding application communicates vital information to employees via a Web-based employee portal.  Employers may include their company logo, welcome message, orientation and training videos and a host of other company-specific information on the site.  A wizard-driven interface guides employees through the new hire process as it collects vital information and tracks employee success in completing required tasks. 

Data collected may include W-4, I-9 and other state and federal tax forms, direct deposit applications, employee handbook review, computer, phone and email set-up and more.  Much of the information obtained through the site can be seamlessly integrated into HRIS systems or other applications which help save time and reduce costly data entry errors.

"We´ve maintained multiple long-term customer relationships not only because we are experts at managing employee data but also because we deliver exceptional service to our clients," notes Mayfield who adds that the onboarding service may be easily integrated with other RealLife HR´s offerings including employee benefit communication and self-service enrollment services using the RealLife Benefits platform.   "Our goal for our RealLife Welcome is to identify ways employers can simplify their new hire processes and ultimately save time and money."
