Facebook and SpringCM to Present Case Study on Harnessing Content Cloud Services to Transform Employee Onboarding

Facebook's Manager of "Peeps" to Share How SpringCM Is Taking the Paper out of New Hire Paperwork


CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - May 9, 2013) - SpringCM®, the leader in Content Cloud Services for the enterprise, announced that Facebook will be presenting its use of SpringCM for employee onboarding at the HR Shared Services and Outsourcing Summit. Vijay Rao, manager of "peeps" (aka people services) at Facebook, will be presenting with Ben Kiker, chief marketing officer at SpringCM, on "Taking the Routine out of HR - and Putting the Fun Back In." The session will be held on Tuesday, May 14, at 11:45 am at the Hotel Sax in Chicago.

HR teams are awash in paper, and nowhere is that more evident than when a company makes the commitment to onboard a new team member. From the moment a candidate signs on the dotted line to their first day on the job, there's a mind-boggling array of documents to review, print and sign. Many organizations block off a significant amount of time of an employee's first day on the job for this "process." It's cumbersome, involves far too much back-and-forth and relies on the enemy of collaboration: email. In addition, tracking what documents have come in and what's missing is time-consuming and tedious. The result is frustration for HR team members and employees alike, along with the potential of non-compliance with federal, state and local employment laws.

With SpringCM HR teams can eliminate the paper, toss the manila folders, unplug the fax machines and stop the never-ending email threads. By bringing together content, people and process, SpringCM streamlines onboarding so new employees start faster and everyone has all the information they need. For example:

  • The correct employment, payroll, company policies, and other documents are automatically delivered to new employees based on their location and local requirements.
  • Employees send information directly to SpringCM's secure cloud by whatever delivery method is available, including email, fax, and mobile devices.
  • HR teams quickly see what information is missing and what else needs to be done.

"The faster an employee is ready to work, the faster they're making an impact," said Ben Kiker, CMO of SpringCM. "This requires a new approach to they way companies store, share and work with content that's required to onboard a new employee. We eliminate the pain HR teams -- and their colleagues in recruiting, legal and payroll -- experience with this process. As a result, HR can deliver greater value to the business and a 'wow' experience to new team members."
