Congratulations! You\u2019ve hired a brand new employee. \u00a0Unfortunately, hiring is not as seamless of\u00a0a transition as we employers and employees need it to be. \u00a0On-boarding new employees takes time, both on paper and in person. \u00a0Plenty of specific actions need to happen within the first few days that\u00a0require repetitive and meticulous data entry. \u00a0As an HR partner, you will most likely find yourself switching from app\u00a0to app\u00a0to enter the same data across different systems, like payroll, accounting, timesheets, and expense management, instead of focusing on\u00a0welcoming your new colleague to the organization.<\/p>\nNow, you can bring human resources into the modern era with\u00a0Namely<\/a>, a one-stop, cloud app that manages all aspects of the HR process. \u00a0You can get\u00a0real-time report outlining the information and progression of every hired employee. \u00a0Employees, too, get instant access to their information through Namely’s mobile app.\n\nIntegrating Namely With Other Apps<\/b>\n\nBut Namely alone\u00a0doesn’t fully solve the pain points of the HR experience. \u00a0Think about the process. \u00a0Namely can sync data from the recruitment process through\u00a0the exit interview. \u00a0But during the tenure\u00a0of an employee, lots of changes occur in other apps. \u00a0Without an instantaneous sync, many discrepancies can form within the company, such as employees not being paid the right amount or on time, benefit changes not being processed in timely\u00a0manner, performance reviews being cast aside, utilizing outdated training documents, and disorganization of employees\u2019 sensitive information. \u00a0These issues at an enterprise level are business nightmares that\u00a0can lead to a\u00a0loss of money and a loss of manpower.\n\nLiberate Namely\u2019s Full Value with Workato<\/strong>\n\nThe integration of Namely with your other\u00a0business apps may at first seem challenging, but with Workato, it’s in fact simple and secure. \u00a0Employees spend less time on manual data handling and\u00a0thus raising employee morale and productivity.\u00a0Namely comes from the cloud but what’s the first step when you want to begin integration?\n\nWorkato’s DIY platform lets you select the precise triggers and actions you want Namely to do or follow with your other apps like Replicon for timesheets, Xero for accounting, QuickBooks for finance, or even SurveyMonkey for employee engagement surveys. Traditional integration methods fall short because they don’t allow for a two-way, real-time data exchange between apps.\u00a0Instead, it\u2019s a one-way push where an update may initially stick but then get overwritten later on. These point-to-point integrations are not flexible to two-way real-time sync handcuffing your ability to use your own apps.\n\nWorkato enables integration to be powerful and flexible enough to suit your company\u2019s needs securely. \u00a0The DIY platform is the only SOC 2 certified<\/a> integration platform that maintains confidentiality and security of HR and personnel data. \u00a0This way, an HR employee\u2019s routine access to data will not suffer or differ. \u00a0Say goodbye to manually handling company data, employee records, and critical data discrepancies.\u00a0Workato already offers a library of\u00a0ready-made Namely recipes<\/a> that will instantly connect all your business applications. \u00a0Moreover, Workato provides a do-it-yourself space to create your own app integration recipes.\n

—<\/p>\n

Sync Namely Employee Records with Timesheet Management Apps<\/a><\/p>\nWith this recipe, a new employee created in Namely can automatically be added to Replicon. \u00a0All departments (HR, finance, accounting) will be on the same page regarding hours logged per employee and any corresponding payments.\n

Send Timely and Complete\u00a0Employee Surveys<\/a><\/p>\nMake sure your all of employees receive surveys from on-boarding throughout their tenure. \u00a0With this recipe, you’ll never have to enter a new contact into SurveyMonkey since that app will sync automatically to Namely when a record is created. \u00a0Employees won’t miss a survey and you won’t miss critical employee insights.\n

Sync Namely Employee Records with Salesforce<\/a><\/p>\nNew employees can get straight to work with the integration of Namely and Salesforce. \u00a0Once a new employee is created in Namely, that information is quickly copied into Salesforce, ensuring your recruiting data is updated and accurate.\n

—<\/p>\nWith numerous applications in the workforce that rely on employee information, utilizing Namely as a data source will help to welcome and integrate your employees in a contemporary, smooth and effortless way. \u00a0See how Workato can help you get the most out of Namely.<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
