Say Goodbye to HR Paperwork: Automate Onboarding Workflows with DynaFile and Adobe Acrobat Sign

May 13, 2025 by Andrew Roberts

Discover how HR teams are streamlining onboarding workflows, improving compliance, and going paperless with a seamless integration between DynaFile and Adobe Acrobat Sign.


automated HR onboarding workflows with e-Signature integration

Paperwork is one of the most significant barriers to efficient HR operations. From chasing down signatures to uploading documents manually, it is easy for critical tasks to fall through the cracks. These inefficiencies not only waste time but also create compliance risks and employee frustration.

That is why organizations across industries, including education, healthcare, legal, real estate, and human resources, are turning to digital solutions that eliminate paperwork and simplify processes. DynaFile’s integration with Adobe Acrobat Sign delivers exactly that. It helps teams automate onboarding workflows, reduce risk, and manage employee files with greater speed and control.

Automate Employee Onboarding Workflows from Start to Finish

Employee onboarding often requires dozens of documents, signatures, and updates across different systems. Without the right tools in place, essential employee data can become siloed or misfiled. Even after documents are signed, it’s common for them to be stored separately from the employee’s digital record, increasing the risk of errors or incomplete files.

Now, with DynaFile and Adobe Acrobat Sign, HR teams can close that gap. When a new hire signs documents using Adobe Acrobat Sign, those files are automatically routed into DynaFile’s secure cloud repository. A folder is created for the employee, and each file is indexed using metadata-based indexing with automatic data synchronization from your HRIS or system of record.

The integration creates a seamless connection between signature capture and digital file storage. There’s no need for manual uploads of signed documents, saving HR teams valuable time.

Find What You Need, When You Need It

DynaFile makes it easy to locate any file using cross-reference searching by employee, document type, department, or location. Whether preparing for an audit, updating an employee’s records, or retrieving a signed policy acknowledgment, you can find the right document instantly.

From there, HR teams can trigger additional workflows or compliance steps. This level of visibility and control transforms onboarding into a reliable, repeatable process.

Why Adobe Acrobat Sign is the Right e-Signature Solution for HR

Adobe Acrobat Sign allows employees to sign documents securely from any device. This flexibility is essential for HR departments that manage remote, hybrid, or distributed workforces.

Beyond convenience, Adobe Acrobat Sign also supports compliance with industry regulations, including:

  • HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
  • FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)
  • GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (Electronic Records and Signatures)

With built-in encryption, secure access, and full audit trails, Adobe Acrobat Sign ensures that every e-Signature is legally binding and tamper-proof. When combined with DynaFile’s automation capabilities, your HR documentation process becomes secure and compliant from end to end.

DynaFile Powers a Fully Digital HR Filing System

Highly customizable, DynaFile adapts to the unique needs of any sector. Whether you’re managing teacher onboarding in education, credentialing in healthcare, contract tracking in legal, or employee records in HR, DynaFile can support your workflow. While Adobe Acrobat Sign handles the secure e-Signature process, DynaFile brings structure, visibility, and automation to the entire document lifecycle. Key features include:

  • Barcode-powered automated document routing
  • Metadata-based indexing and folder creation
  • Automatic data synchronization from HRIS platforms
  • Role-based access controls for document security
  • Custom employee document retention policies
  • Audit reporting and file compliance checklists
  • Secure access from any location or device

Whether you are onboarding a new employee, responding to a compliance audit, or preparing annual reviews, DynaFile ensures every document is accurate, accessible, and secure.

A Smarter Way to Manage HR Documentation

This integration between DynaFile and Adobe Acrobat Sign is not just a feature upgrade but a smarter, faster way for HR teams to eliminate paperwork and simplify operations. From improving onboarding workflows to maintaining long-term compliance, this solution is designed for digital-first HR departments that must stay ahead.

If your team is still managing paper files or disconnected digital tools, now is the time to streamline your process.

Q: What is the benefit of integrating DynaFile with Adobe Acrobat Sign?

A: The integration creates a seamless digital workflow for HR teams by allowing documents to be signed electronically and then automatically routed into DynaFile’s secure cloud filing system. This eliminates manual uploads, reduces errors, and helps teams stay compliant with regulations like HIPAA, FERPA, and GLBA.

Q: Can this integration help with onboarding new hires remotely?

A: Yes. The DynaFile and Adobe Acrobat Sign integration is ideal for remote and hybrid teams. New hire forms can be signed from any device, anywhere, and are instantly filed in the correct employee folder within DynaFile.

Q: What types of HR documents can be managed using this integration?

A: Common documents include offer letters, onboarding packets, tax forms (like I-9s and W-4s), policy acknowledgments, benefits forms, performance reviews, training records, and more. These documents can be signed securely and automatically filed in the correct location.

Q: How does this integration support HR compliance?

A: The integration supports compliance through secure e-Signatures, automatic document indexing, and features like document retention policies, role-based access controls, and audit-ready file checklists. It helps organizations meet standards such as HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Q: Are there other e-Signature integrations available with DynaFile?

A: Yes. In addition to Adobe Acrobat Sign, DynaFile also integrates with other trusted e-Signature platforms, including DocuSign and PandaDoc. These integrations allow organizations to choose the solution that best fits their existing workflows and security requirements.

Digital HR Workflows Made Easy: How DynaFile + DocuSign Simplify Employee File Management

April 7, 2025 by Andrew Roberts


Digital HR Workflows Made Easy: How DynaFile + DocuSign Simplify Employee File Management

Eliminate Paperwork and Simplify Onboarding with DynaFile + DocuSign Integration

This powerful integration streamlines how HR teams send, sign, and store employee documents, making file management easier, faster, and fully digital.

Manual paperwork continues to slow down HR teams. Chasing signatures, organizing files, and managing documents by hand takes time away from strategic work like employee engagement and compliance. But there’s a better way.

With the DynaFile + DocuSign integration, HR teams can streamline every step of the documentation process—from sending forms to storing completed files—automatically and securely.

In this post, we’ll walk through how the integration works, who it benefits, and why making the move to digital document management gives HR teams more time to focus on people, not paperwork.

The Hidden Cost of Manual HR Workflows

Manual HR processes may seem manageable at first, but over time, they quietly drain productivity, delay critical tasks, and increase compliance risks. From onboarding paperwork to signature requests, small inefficiencies compound quickly, especially for growing or multi-location teams.

According to CareerBuilder, two in five HR managers spend three or more hours manually collecting onboarding information for every new hire, and manual onboarding processes increase workloads 37% of the time. That’s valuable time lost to repetitive admin work—time HR professionals could spend improving employee experience or building strategy.

By switching to DynaFile and DocuSign, teams can move from reactive, manual workflows to a proactive, fully digital HR process.

How the DynaFile + DocuSign Integration Works

The DynaFile + DocuSign integration simplifies your HR document workflow. Here’s how it works step-by-step:

1. Create & Send Documents in DocuSign

First, log in to your DocuSign account and choose from reusable templates like W-4s, employee handbooks, or policy forms. Then fill in the necessary details, assign recipients, and send documents out for signatures.

Create & Send Documents in DocuSign

2. Add Required Fields for Seamless Signing

Next, use DocuSign’s drag-and-drop tools to add signature boxes, initials, dates, and checkboxes. These smart fields walk recipients through the form, so they complete everything correctly on the first try.

Add Required Fields for Seamless Signing

3. Automatically File in DynaFile

After signatures are complete, DynaFile stores each document in the correct employee folder—instantly and securely. There’s no need to rename, download, or upload files. Everything lands exactly where it belongs, already organized and audit-ready.

Automatically File in DynaFile

With DynaFile’s segmented access controls we can now give Payroll access to just the documents they need. It’s quick, secure, easy — anyone can do it. On paper alone, the cost savings is in the thousands and possibly the hundreds of thousands when all is said and done.”

HR Playbook: A Winning Strategy to Enhance Remote HR Operations with Cloud Workflows

March 10, 2025 by Andrew Roberts

How HR Teams Can Improve Efficiency, Compliance, and Security with a Cloud-Based Employee File Management Software


HR Playbook: A Winning Strategy to Enhance Remote HR Operations with Cloud Workflows

The shift to remote and hybrid work has completely transformed how HR departments operate. As a result, managing employee files, ensuring compliance, and facilitating collaboration have become increasingly complex. Unfortunately, traditional filing systems and paper-based processes simply can’t keep up with these demands.

Therefore, to stay ahead, HR leaders must implement cloud workflows that provide secure, efficient, and scalable solutions for managing employee records. An advanced HR document management system—like DynaFile’s cloud-based solution—can revolutionize employee file management software, making remote HR operations smoother than ever.

Why Cloud Workflows Are Essential for Remote HR Teams

HR professionals handle a high volume of employee records management software, from onboarding documents to performance reviews, compliance paperwork, and benefits forms. Without a doubt, a centralized online document storage system is essential for tracking, updating, and securing these records remotely.

So, what’s the solution? Cloud workflows address these challenges in several ways:

1. Seamless Access to Employee Documents Anytime, Anywhere

Cloud-based employee document management software ensures that location constraints are no longer an issue. In fact, HR teams can securely store documents online, access them remotely, and collaborate on employee records in real-time. This means no more waiting for files to be emailed or digging through outdated document filing systems.

2. Secure File Sharing for HR and Compliance Teams

Security is a top priority when handling sensitive employee records. Because of this, DynaFile’s secure file sharing feature ensures that only authorized personnel can access or modify specific files. More importantly, with customizable access permissions, HR teams can confidently share employee documents with managers, auditors, and compliance officers—all while minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.

Learn more: Secure File Sharing

3. E-Signatures for Faster HR Approvals

Traditionally, remote HR teams have struggled with delays in paperwork approvals. However, with electronic filing system capabilities like e-signatures, documents can now be signed digitally in minutes. Whether it’s an employment contract, performance review, or benefits enrollment form, employee file folders can be updated in real-time without needing physical paperwork.

4. Automated Document Scanning and Filing

Handling paper-based records is inefficient, especially in a remote setup. For this reason, advanced document scanning technology enables HR teams to digitize files and automatically categorize them into an indexed filing system. Instead of manually sorting through stacks of paperwork, HR professionals can instantly retrieve any record using digital document filing and cloud document storage.

Learn more: Scanning Automation with DynaFile

5. Version Control for Compliance and Audits

One of the biggest challenges in human resources document management software is keeping track of file updates. Thankfully, DynaFile’s version control feature ensures that previous document versions are securely stored and easily retrievable. This is especially crucial for compliance audits, as HR teams must demonstrate accurate record-keeping.

The Competitive Edge of HR Cloud Workflows

By integrating employee file management software into your HR tech stack, you can:

  • Boost Efficiency: Reduce administrative tasks and streamline document workflows.
  • Enhance Security: Ensure compliance with data protection laws through encrypted employee records management software.
  • Improve Employee Experience: Make remote HR processes seamless and accessible.
  • Ensure Compliance Readiness: Maintain a digital audit trail with an organized HR electronic document management system.

Ready to Modernize Your Remote HR Operations?

Mastering Onboarding: How Cloud-Based HR Filing Systems Create Seamless Workflows

December 17, 2024 by Andrew Roberts

Tap into the efficiency of cloud-based HR filing systems to streamline onboarding, automate workflows, and create a seamless start for your new hires.


Mastering Onboarding: How Cloud-Based HR Filing Systems Create Seamless Workflows

Setting the Stage for Onboarding Success

Onboarding is your opportunity to set new hires up for success. A well-organized process builds confidence, boosts productivity, and fosters long-term engagement. But outdated manual processes—like stacks of paperwork or clunky systems—can create unnecessary delays, errors, and stress for both employees and HR teams.

Cloud-based HR filing systems offer a modern solution. By automating workflows, centralizing documents, and ensuring compliance, these systems simplify onboarding and improve employee retention. Whether you’re in education, healthcare, retail, or manufacturing, digital systems help HR teams streamline workflows and reduce administrative burdens.


What Is a Cloud-Based HR Filing System?

Cloud-based HR filing systems securely centralize employee records, automate workflows, and scale your organization’s growth. By replacing manual processes, these systems:

  • Save time with automated onboarding workflows.
  • Provide secure, centralized access to documents.
  • Support paperless processes with tools like e-signatures.

With everything in one place, HR teams can focus less on paperwork and more on delivering a seamless onboarding experience.

Why Streamlined Onboarding Matters

1. Pre-boarding: Start Before Day One

Pre-boarding—starting the onboarding process before a new hire’s first day—sets the stage for success. Employees can:

  • Review, complete, and legally sign paperwork online.
  • Learn about company policies, goals, and expectations in advance.
  • Reduce first-day stress and feel confident from the start.

For HR teams, automating pre-boarding tasks frees up time to focus on strategy while employees enjoy a smooth, welcoming experience.

2. Boost Employee Retention

A streamlined onboarding process improves new hire retention by up to 82% and boosts productivity by over 70% (Brandon Hall Group). Employees who feel supported and engaged early on are more likely to stay long-term.

3. Ensure Compliance

Handling sensitive employee documents comes with responsibility. Regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and FERPA require strict processes to safeguard data. Cloud-based systems:

  • Automate retention schedules to meet legal requirements.
  • Securely store sensitive records.
  • Generate audit trails for easy accountability.

Key Features That Simplify Onboarding

The best cloud-based HR systems include tools that streamline every step of onboarding:

  • Automated Workflows: Assign tasks, send reminders, and collect forms without manual effort.
  • Centralized Document Storage: Keep all records organized and accessible in one secure location.
  • Advanced Search Capabilities: Find documents instantly by name, role, or date.
  • Role-Based Access: Control who can view or edit sensitive information to ensure compliance.
  • System Integrations: Seamlessly connect with payroll, benefits, and HR systems for a unified process.

These features reduce administrative stress and create a smoother onboarding experience for HR teams and new hires alike.

Who Benefits from Streamlined Onboarding?

Cloud-based HR filing systems adapt to the unique needs of industries across the board:

  • Education: Onboard faculty, staff, and students while ensuring compliance with FERPA regulations. Manage credentials, contracts, and academic program paperwork seamlessly.
  • Healthcare: Streamline onboarding for nurses, physicians, and medical residents in teaching hospitals. Easily track certifications and maintain HIPAA-compliant data security.
  • Retail and Hospitality: Efficiently handle seasonal hires and deliver consistent onboarding experiences across multiple locations.
  • Manufacturing and Logistics: Automate compliance documentation and onboarding for production teams while managing OSHA safety records.
  • Legal and Finance: Simplify workflows for compliance-heavy roles and protect sensitive data with secure access controls.

From large enterprises to growing organizations, cloud-based systems offer the flexibility to scale as your workforce expands.

How to Get Started: Implementing a Cloud-Based System

Ready to streamline your onboarding process? Start here:

  1. Assess Current Workflows: Identify bottlenecks and repetitive manual tasks.
  2. Digitize Paper Records: Convert existing documents into searchable, organized digital files.
  3. Automate Workflows: Use tools to manage document submissions, approvals, and compliance tasks.
  4. Train Your Team: Provide training to ensure smooth adoption and usage.
  5. Monitor and Improve: Gather feedback and analytics to continually optimize the onboarding process.

A clear, step-by-step approach ensures a smooth transition to a digital system.

The Benefits of Cloud-Based Onboarding

When you invest in a streamlined, cloud-based onboarding system, your organization will see tangible benefits:

  • Save Time: Eliminate paperwork delays with automated processes.
  • Ensure Compliance: Stay audit-ready with retention tracking and secure storage.
  • Increase Retention: Engage new hires early, reducing turnover rates.
  • Scale with Ease: Adapt your system to meet growing workforce demands.

Onboarding That Works for Today’s Workforce

Top 5 Features You Need in Your HR Document Management System for 2025

December 10, 2024 by Andrew Roberts

Future-Proof Your HR Team: Discover the Must-Have Features of a Modern Document Management System for 2025


Top 5 Features You Need in Your HR Document Management System for 2025

As we approach 2025, HR professionals are under more pressure than ever to streamline processes, ensure compliance, and create efficient systems that support their organization’s growth. A modern HR document management system is no longer optional—it’s a critical tool for success.

Here’s a closer look at the top features every HR team needs to future-proof their document management strategy and set their organization up for success in the coming year.


1. Cloud-Based Centralized Storage

Gone are the days of filing cabinets and scattered digital folders. A cloud-based HR document management system offers a centralized hub for all employee records. With secure, scalable storage, your team can quickly retrieve important files, regardless of location.

Why It Matters:
Hybrid and remote work environments demand seamless access to records. Centralized storage eliminates time wasted searching across multiple systems, ensuring your HR team stays productive and responsive.

2. Automated Compliance Tools

Navigating regulations like HIPAA, FERPA, and GDPR can be daunting. Built-in compliance features, such as automated retention schedules and detailed audit trails, take the guesswork out of recordkeeping.

Key Retention Requirements:

  • EEOC: Retain employment records for at least one year after termination.
  • FLSA: Keep payroll records for three years.
  • OSHA: Maintain workplace injury records for five years.

Why It Matters:
Automating compliance ensures your organization avoids costly fines and stays audit-ready without manual tracking.

3. Advanced Search and Indexing

Imagine searching for a specific employee file and finding it within seconds. Advanced search capabilities, combined with metadata tagging, make this a reality. Search by employee name, document type, or date with ease.

Why It Matters:
Studies show employees can spend an average of 2 hours per day searching for documents. An efficient search tool saves HR teams significant time, allowing them to focus on more strategic initiatives.

4. Role-Based Access Control

Protecting sensitive employee information is a top priority, especially as data privacy regulations become stricter. Role-based access permissions ensure that only authorized personnel can view specific records, safeguarding confidential data.

Why It Matters:
Complying with data protection laws like GDPR and HIPAA requires secure systems. Role-based access minimizes the risk of breaches and ensures compliance with privacy standards.

5. Workflow Automation

From onboarding to performance reviews, HR workflows can be time-consuming. Automating these processes eliminates redundancies and ensures consistency across your organization. For example:

  • Collect and store new hire paperwork digitally.
  • Automatically notify HR staff when retention periods expire.
  • Streamline approval processes for performance reviews.

Why It Matters:
Workflow automation saves time and reduces the risk of errors, empowering your HR team to focus on strategic goals.

How Technology Elevates HR Records Management

Modern employee file management systems, like DynaFile, offer all these features and more. By integrating advanced technology into your records management strategy, you can:

  • Enhance Efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks and save hours each week.
  • Boost Compliance: Meet regulatory standards effortlessly with built-in retention policies and audit trails.
  • Scale Seamlessly: Adapt your system as your workforce grows, ensuring long-term efficiency.

Next Steps: Build Your Future-Ready HR System

As 2025 approaches, it’s time to evaluate your current HR document management system. Does it provide the tools you need to succeed in today’s fast-paced business environment? If not, consider upgrading to a modern solution that empowers your team to work smarter, not harder.
