5 reasons to love your HCM
In this article
1. Onboarding new hires is a breeze
Fret not over a drawn out, will-they-or-won’t-they onboarding process. With Rippling, you can set up new employees and contractors across the globe in 90 seconds. Our system automatically:
Distributes compliant offer letters
Runs background checks
Adds new hires to payroll
Enrolls new employees in health insurance and other benefits
Assigns anti-sexual harassment and workplace safety trainings
2. The right people have access to what they need for their jobs
Rippling ensures your employees have every resource they need to hit the ground running on day one. We automatically send laptops to new employees, configure their accounts with crucial software, assign apps like Zoom and Slack with the right role-dependent permissions, and even administer corporate credit cards with customizable spending limits and purchasing capabilities.
3. You don’t have to manually update employee information
Soulmates completing each other’s sentences? Cute (sort of). But a workforce management system that auto-fills employee data without you lifting a finger? Swoon-worthy. Instead of wasting hours of precious time every day manually entering HR data when someone moves to a different state or gets promoted, Rippling applies downstream updates automatically throughout your entire system—from adjusting payroll, to updating corporate card expense policies, to assigning trainings, and much more. Your most cumbersome administrative work becomes one-click simple; you can save time and lessen the risk of manual human error.
4. There’s no need to worry about compliance
Keeping track of all the federal, state, and local tax and employment laws in every jurisdiction you hire can be dizzying. Especially if you employ a remote workforce where employees are subject to different wage regulations, benefits schemes, and payroll taxes.
But long-distance relationships don’t have to be tough. Regardless of where your employees live, Rippling automatically flags compliance issues and recommends how you can address them before any penalties kick in. Our system also handles state tax registration and filings, ensures compliance with federal and state benefits laws, and even uses time and attendance tracking to automatically apply overtime pay when employees’ hours trigger different rates according to local regulations.
5. You can inform your HR decisions with real-time data
Rippling offers customizable reports that give you full visibility into your workforce. You can quickly create, share, and update countless charts that help you make sense of your employee data—like a report tracking exit survey responses by department to refine retention efforts, or a simple snapshot comparing new hires to open headcount by country to see where you should focus recruiting resources. By unifying all your workforce data across your HR, IT, and Finance stack into one place, Rippling allows you to build any report imaginable—without needing to write a single line of code.
A blissful honeymoon phase—that lasts throughout the employee lifecycle
Rippling’s HCM can offer you everything you ever wanted and more… at least in terms of workforce management software. See how you can fall head over heels for a system that lets you seamlessly hire, manage, and pay your workforce.
