How to Improve Retention and Productivity with Google Workspace to PayMaster Integration

Onboarding is one of the most important business processes companies perform, and quickly onboarding new hires directly increases revenue. That’s because every day a new hire spends onboarding is a day of lost productivity. Research from Digitate found that automating onboarding tasks can shorten the onboarding process by 5 days.
However, many companies still use a fully manual identity management process when onboarding new hires. By integrating an HCM like PayMaster with an Identity Platform like Google Workspace, you can easily provide a better experience to your employees.

Achieve Employee Onboarding Automation with PayMaster Integration

You only get one chance to make a first impression on a new hire, and that happens during the employee onboarding phase. A recent survey from Paychex found that 70% of employees believe the onboarding process makes or breaks a new hire’s overall work experience.
Integrating PayMaster to Google Workspace enables automatic identity profile creation using new hires’ personally identifiable information (PII) from PayMaster. As data from SHRM shows, this streamlined onboarding experience improves employee retention by 52%, time-to-productivity by 60%, and overall productivity by 50%.
Automating employee onboarding provides a 52% increase to a company's new hire retention rate, a 60% decrease in new hire time-to-productivity, and a 50% increase in new hire productivity.

How to Choose The Right PayMaster Software Integration to Google Workspace

There are multiple ways to build and connect a PayMaster API integration, and you may be tempted to create one yourself. However, custom-built integrations can quickly become a cost sink that create more problems than they solve.
These are the most common ways custom-built integrations can backfire:
High Development Cost: Building a custom integration is an intensive, code-heavy development process that requires skilled resources and time to complete.
Ongoing Maintenance: Custom integrations need to be regularly updated and maintained to run as intended, which further increases ongoing development costs.
Complexity at Scale: While custom integrations can work for smaller companies, they easily become a complex web of connectors when scaled up to manage more than a hundred employee identities.
To avoid these pitfalls, we recommend using an automated identity management product like Hire2Retire. It isn’t just an integration product – It’s a lightweight IGA that uses PayMaster as the Source of Truth (SOT) to automate identity management for the entire employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding and everything in between.
