[Demo] From Manual to Modern: Manage Offboarding in One Centralized Platform — with Onwards HR


May 12, 2026 12:00 PM ET

Register Now

Many companies have modernized hiring, onboarding, and talent management with technology — yet offboarding and workforce reductions are still managed through spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected systems. These manual processes create unnecessary risk, inefficiency, and inconsistency. With layoffs on the rise, now is the time to rethink how employee exits are managed.

Organizations that implement dedicated offboarding infrastructure gain meaningful operational and strategic advantages.

The Benefits of Offboarding Technology

  • Eliminate duplicative, manual work to use resources more efficiently 
  • Standardize processes for consistency, scalability, and equitable employee treatment across teams and locations
  • Mitigate legal risk by facilitating compliance with labor laws and regulations 
  • Increase visibility across HR, Legal, and Finance with centralized, real-time data 
  • Free HR teams to focus on strategic initiatives by automating administrative tasks

Onwards HR’s Key Capabilities

Onwards HR provides a centralized platform to manage workforce transitions with greater consistency and compliance— creating the structure and coordination needed to deliver more compassionate employee experiences. The platform brings together the planning, governance, and management of employee separations in one place, with seamless integration into existing HRIS and HCM systems.

Severance Automation

  • Generate dynamic, policy-driven severance documents 
  • Calculate severance pay with a configurable, built-in calculator 
  • Instantly update calculations and documents when changes occur

Federal and Local Compliance

  • Simplify compliance with the WARN Act, Mini-WARNs, and OWBPA 
  • Automatically generate mandated notices and waivers 
  • Evaluate separation events using built-in statistical tests

State Separation Notices

  • Stay up to date with evolving state separation laws 
  • Use HCM data to identify state-mandated separation agreements 

Reporting and Analytics

  • Simplify severance payout tracking, including accruals, reversals, and paid outcomes 
  • Evaluate events for bias and discrimination, mitigating risk
  • Maintain and review robust employee case files in a central location 

Onwards HR replaces fragmented offboarding processes with a structured, centralized platform—bringing consistency, compliance, and a more compassionate approach to employee exits.

With Onwards HR, there’s a better way to say goodbye.
