2027 People tech priorities

From offer to alumni: one connected employee lifecycle

Start where the pain is, prove it with data, then scale.

Prepared with the 4G Clinical People team

The lifecycle, in rollout order

Start Prove Scale

Today

After an offer is accepted, the HRBP, HR Generalist and IT kick off pre-boarding by hand, with no consistent experience.

With ChangeEngine

  • Automated journeys from offer acceptance through day 90
  • Sent on behalf of HR and managers to personal and work email, Slack and SMS
  • A visible day-by-day timeline for the new hire
  • A manager view of what's coming and what's done

Signal we'll track

Drop-off points, completion of 30/60/90-day milestones, first-90-day engagement.

Behavioral data, not just surveys.

What we heard

"Where is our biggest pain point today? Where do we need the lift, immediate lift support?"
Michael Marlatt, 4G Clinical
"It's very manual, very labor-intensive. There's no clean, consistent experience."
Michael Marlatt, 4G Clinical
"We don't want to wait until people exit... we want to try to retain them by providing those career development opportunities."
Michael Marlatt, 4G Clinical
"We just need more data, better data."
Michael Marlatt, 4G Clinical
