Your company is too lazy to try to copy employee information from your current HR bookkeeping to their's. And besides your old company paperwork does not match the new companies forms. So, you get to fill out new paperwork they can put into their system and file hard copies of. AND is has your signature on it, the most important part. Even though most stuff is now electronic it's still about having a hard copy somewhere with a signature on it.

The media release is basically to be able to put your picture in the company Global Address Book. Which I would NOT make public.
