Workplace expectations are evolving, and digital tools now play a bigger role in how companies operate. HR teams are rethinking how to support employees at every stage of their time with the company.
From onboarding to offboarding, each step helps shape the employee experience.
Yet, managing that experience can be a challenge.
According to a 2025 Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Paycom, a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management (HCM) software, businesses rely on an average of more than six different HCM providers to handle employee-related tasks.
That kind of fragmentation often leads to inconsistent data, poor user experience and delays in workforce reporting.
77% of HR professionals surveyed said they store employee data across multiple databases, and 71% struggle to transfer that data between systems.
Chad Richison, Paycom founder and CEO, said, “Businesses with multiple HR platform solutions compromise data integrity and create a poor user experience for their employees.”
It’s no surprise that 91% of HR leaders expressed interest in a single HCM system built within one database, with improved data accuracy being the most commonly expected benefit.
Paycom’s single software solution aims to eliminate duplication and manual reentry while improving automation and compliance across the board.
Onboarding that starts before day one
For many employees, the first experience with their new company is the onboarding process. When that process is filled with paperwork, duplicate data entry and long in-person orientations, it can create frustration before the job even begins.
Paycom’s completely digital onboarding tool is designed to avoid that. Before the first day, the software walks new hires through:
- Entering personal info
- Setting up direct deposit
- Filling out tax forms like W-4s and providing I-9 info
- Taking introductory training courses
- Digitally signing other necessary documents
Their application data flows directly into the onboarding system, so details like contact information and demographics don’t have to be entered twice.
That same data is used to verify employment eligibility and, when needed, initiate background checks automatically.
Forms that require electronic signatures are stored securely in the employee’s digital record. HR teams can assign onboarding templates based on the role, giving new hires a more relevant and personalized experience from the beginning.
All of this helps reduce manual work, limit errors and give employees a smoother transition into their new roles.
One login, one system
A major reason organizations struggle with workforce management is fragmentation.
When payroll, scheduling, benefits and training systems are separate, employees often have to log into multiple platforms to complete basic tasks. It also increases the chance of inconsistent or outdated data.
Paycom’s solution is to keep everything in one place. Through a single login, employees can enroll in benefits, submit time-off requests, review pay stubs, take training courses and more.
They manage their own data through Employee Self-Service®, which frees up HR to focus on strategy instead of troubleshooting account issues or rekeying updates.
Managers also benefit. With tools like Manager on-the-Go®, they can approve time off, send communications and oversee performance all without switching systems.
Automating complex processes
Automation plays a key role throughout the Paycom system. Take payroll, for example. Beti®, Paycom’s payroll tool, automatically builds each employee’s paycheck using real-time data from Employee Self-Service®.
If anything looks off, the employee is prompted to review and correct it before payroll is finalized. It also handles time-consuming tasks like tracking expenses, calculating work hours and managing pay changes.
Another example is Paycom’s position management feature. It connects job descriptions, pay ranges, training paths and reporting structures to the position itself rather than the person in the role.
That structure provides a foundation for scalable workforce planning and helps organizations manage promotions, transfers and offboarding more efficiently.
Building on this foundation, the company’s newest solution, IWant™, takes this approach further by giving users an automated way to access employee data.
Users can simply type questions or use voice commands, and the AI engine instantly delivers information from the single database without requiring manual navigation through the software.
A smoother exit
Employee offboarding can bring its own set of challenges, especially when information is scattered across departments.
When data lives in one system, companies are better equipped to handle final paychecks, benefits updates and compliance requirements without delays or gaps.
By carrying data from the first day through the last, Paycom helps companies ensure consistency across the employee lifecycle and reduce the administrative strain that often comes with transitions.
