Product Description

Onwards HR is the first data-driven risk management platform that automates employee terminations and mitigates human capital risk. Employee separations are often difficult, time-consuming, and error-prone — three qualities that can lead to wrongful termination lawsuits, severance overpayments, and excess payroll costs. Our solution saves employers time, reduces costs, and improves compliance by guiding them through justifying selections, calculating severance benefits, generating agreements, and tracking notifications, deliveries, and signatures. Onwards HR also mitigates legal risk by leveraging built-in compliance assessment tools and a centralized document repository. The result is a better separation experience for both employers and employees.

My company has been using OnwardsHR for over 2 years and I am a huge advocate of their solutions and highly recommend any HR practitioner to consider it for their organization. Our implementation experience was fantastic and the team has treated us as true partners for any needs that have come up since. Leveraging the technology to automate offboarding has significantly reduced the time to manage any elements of the offboarding process, minimized costs related to completing adverse impact and WARN analysis, and has reduced the administrative burden while also ensuring we remain compliant and following legal requirements.
