Its group medical practice is made up of physicians who are also faculty members at the University of Minnesota Medical School.

'RedCarpet has been a wonderful new tool that allows our new physicians to enter the organization more quickly, with less hassle and feel welcomed,'said Ann Eilbracht, Vice President of Human Resources. New physicians are employed by two organizations and have over 100 tasks that need to be completed prior to beginning work. RedCarpet makes these tasks effortless, and dramatically increases completion rates. The welcome portal provides a wealth of information about our community, our campus, our two organizations and our culture. We couldn't be happier with this investment.'

In addition to onboarding, these transitions can include offboarding, crossboarding, promotion, transfers, mergers and acquisitions, medical leaves and any other life event an employee may experience. Content that a company wishes to deliver to an employee during such a transition is provided through a completely customizable portal. This information can include welcome messages, a wide range of useful information including schedules, training and contact information, electronic forms capabilities and easy access to all supporting materials applicable to their particular employee transition.
