Case Study: MyPlanAdvocate achieves 10x faster onboarding and transforms HR into a strategic business partner with Rippling

MyPlanAdvocate’s HR director became a strategic business partner with leadership by automating time-draining manual work

MyPlanAdvocate, a 142‑employee healthcare startup, faced rapid growth without formal HR systems: Mario Silva, the company’s Director of People & Talent Strategy, was manually onboarding up to 20 new hires every few weeks, working late nights and spending two to three weeks per hire while falling behind on compliance and strategic HR work. To scale and automate those time‑draining processes, MyPlanAdvocate turned to Rippling for workflow automations and HR tools.

Rippling implemented automated onboarding, device/app provisioning, payroll and offboarding workflows plus workforce analytics, enabling new hires to be fully set up on day one. The result: onboarding is now 10x faster—reduced from about three weeks to three minutes—Mario regained his evenings and shifted into strategic planning, using Rippling reports to advise the CEO and CFO on talent and location strategy and earn a seat at the leadership table.
