Our mission is to make separations better.

We streamline the process, promote consistency, and prioritize transparency.

Imagine This - Our Ah-Ha Moment!

People ultimately drive a company’s success. That’s why HR teams devote significant resources to leveraging technology throughout many parts of the employment lifecycle — such as recruiting, hiring, and retaining top talent. But one area in the cycle that often gets overlooked is separations.

Our mission is to make separations better for employers and employees. We help employers mitigate risks, reduce costs and improve equity by simplifying separations in compliance with corporate policy and employment laws.

With Onwards HR, there’s a better way to say goodbye.

Best,
Sarah Rodehorst, CEO & Cofounder

Our Story

Onwards HR was born over coffee, omelets, and grits. Seventeen years after meeting on the campus of Georgia Tech, Sarah Rodehorst and Janice Yu Edwards reunited for breakfast at Flying Biscuit. They previously worked together at Connecture, a health insurance sales automation software startup. After going their separate ways, Sarah and Janice continued to launch B2B SaaS applications in the HR industry, now boasting a combined 40 years of experience.

Since the first-of-its-kind technology launched in 2019, Onwards HR has improved the separation process for employers and employees.
