-- Because the solution is web-based, new employees can pre-board --
getting all of the administrative tasks completed so that they are more
productive on day one.
-- It is the only onboarding solution integrated with a personalized,
searchable HR knowledgebase, so new employees see only the policies,
benefits and forms that are relevant to them -- important due to Alegent
Health's many different state regulations and bargaining units.
-- Offered as a Software-as-a-Service solution, all of the data is hosted
and maintained by Enwisen.
-- Enwisen also offered an HR-focused call center solution which
integrates with the knowledgebase, allowing call center reps to respond
quickly to current and new employee inquiries with on-demand access to
their personalized information and benefits.
The initial results have been beyond expectations. Alegent Health has been
able to consolidate five hiring locations into one -- re-deploying staff to
more strategic HR projects. Paperwork and administrative task have been
greatly reduced. And most important, the reaction of new employees has
been very positive -- surveys show that new hires find the system easy to
use, like the convenience of pre-boarding and appreciate that their first
day at work is more productive.
"The experience in working with Enwisen has been very positive. Their team
is very knowledgeable and helped us put a process in place that would meet
our business needs while leveraging the technology to automate processes.
Most important, our new employees are having a positive experience with
what we believe is a world-class onboarding program in the healthcare
industry," said Sokolik.
"The war for talent in healthcare is extremely competitive, and
organizations that want to win that war must make strategic use of
technologies that engage new hires from the day they accept offers.
Alegent Health is truly an innovator in their industry," said Barbara
Levin, Senior Vice President, Enwisen.

process, we also wanted our new hires to have a more positive experience on
their first day -- reinforcing their decision to work for an industry
leader and innovator."
