Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the webinar.
My name is Margot, and I’m the chief training officer for GreenLeaf HR Solutions. Today I’m just going to be going over some of the features of ExitZ, the world’s only HR platform to combine a quick and painless zombie employee offboarding process with early warning analytics to prevent further infections of your team.
Before we get started, I wanted to go over a couple of housekeeping items. First, I know you were all expecting to meet with our lead product innovator, Lauren. I’m sorry to say that, ah, Lauren isn’t feeling great right now, so I’ve got her notes, and I’m stepping in.
You’re in good hands.
Second, you should see a chat box to the right of the video. Can you all just let me know if you can see and hear me okay?
Mario, thanks. Thanks, Joanna. Great. Trish, Manoush, awesome. Thanks, everybody.
Paul, can you try closing your browser and relaunching the webinar? Everyone else seems to be seeing and hearing me fine. So just–
Okay, well, it looks like he closed out. Hopefully he can join us in a minute.
Okay.
Well.
While we’re waiting for Paul, I just want to let you all know that you can leave any questions you have for me in the chat box. My assistant, Inez, is going to be flagging them all for me, and I’ll answer them at the end. Okay?
I’m going to jump right in with some quick GreenLeaf history, which you may or may not know.
GreenLeaf has actually–you may know this–we’ve actually been developing Human Resources software solutions for over twenty years now. A lot of you are probably familiar with our flagship product, ZenHR.
Just a quick show of hands, can you click the “raise hand” button in the chat if you’ve used–or use–ZenHR?
Joanna, it’s in the lower–sorry, let me check–yeah, the lower left part of the chat screen.
Oh, and hi, Paul, glad you can hear me now.
Technology, right, it’s amazing except for when it’s not working!
So, back to the history. About two years ago, when the first cases of zombieism were reported in Missoula, GreenLeaf was one of the first to realize just what a challenge it was going to be for HR directors to offboard zombie employees. Our product was actually in beta by the time the outbreak had gone national, and I’m proud to say we have over 3,500 users today.
Including, hopefully, you folks. So, thanks for checking out the webinar.
We’ve designed the survey with really basic yes or no questions and word associations that most Level I zombies can still comprehend. We worked with some of the best zombie psychologists and instructional designers to come up with this, and it’s really actually very effective.
