1. Introducing PartnerConnect
October 2017

2. What Is PartnerConnect
PartnerConnect is software that will transform our human resources management systems and services—including recruiting, onboarding, compensation, performance management, payroll, and learning. With convenient online tools, partners will have access to reliable, accurate, timely, and accessible personal information. PartnerConnect makes it easy for partners to interact with Human Resources while empowering them to own their information.
PartnerConnect replaces HR Workways
TMS becoming LMS

3. Why We Need It
Our existing HR systems are outdated and no longer supported. We need an advanced, modern, integrated solution to serve as the single source of truth to enable better, data-driven business decisions. PartnerConnect will be foundational to helping Human Resources deliver expertise and solutions that fuel the future success of Cintas.

4. Why We’re Calling it “PartnerConnect”
Partners are the company’s most important asset. This new system is designed to help connect our people strategy to our business strategy to drive results. So the system is not merely a repository of information, but a tool to help Cintas make decisions by making connections between partners, their performance and the company’s results.
