That's why we're focused on delivering a holistic, user-friendly experience with insights that empower HR and managers to be change leaders who drive great outcomes for both their people and their companies."

During this morning's mainstage presentation, Namely's product leaders revealed several key updates to the company's HR platform, including:

• Extended integrations with systems across the employee lifecycle — By adding depth and breadth to its integrations — with Greenhouse, Hire by Google, Jazz HR, and Lever for applicant tracking; Google Cloud Identity, Okta, and OneLogin for identity management; and NetSuite for ERP — Namely is helping HR and IT teams manage complexity while speeding onboarding and offboarding. In addition, Namely previewed a new connector for the U.S. government's E-Verify system to automate work authorizations for new employees, which will be available in the coming quarters.

Namely's company insights dashboard now surfaces these insights alongside client-specific data on turnover, tenure distribution, diversity, attrition rates, and termination reasons so HR leaders can track their company's performance against peer businesses and identify areas for improvement.
• Streamlined, time-saving administration — Namely is also improving automation with powerful administrator tools and processes that increase efficiency across benefits, payroll, and other HR activities. A new mass eSignature feature allows admins to send documents to all employees in a particular department, division, or office location at once via Adobe, and in the coming months, Namely will launch a new benefits setup experience to simplify the process of initiating and renewing plans.

In addition to these 2019 highlights, Namely also shared its long-term plans to add more value for mid-sized companies. These include a seamless interface that spans employee recognition, news feeds, manager dashboards for monitoring employees' career progress, and HR insights that help admins keep an eye on larger trends or risks across the organization. Over time, Namely will fulfill this vision with new manager-specific tools, guidance, and views to support decision-making, as well as more communication, engagement, and other self-service utilities that help employees grow their careers.
