Why IT onboarding and offboarding matter

Employee changes touch nearly every part of a business technology environment. Email, Microsoft 365, shared files, cloud applications, phones, devices, passwords, security groups, VPN access, and line-of-business software all need to be handled carefully. A missed step can delay a new hire, frustrate a manager, or leave access open after someone leaves.

What a clean onboarding process includes

• User account setup. Create email, Microsoft 365, application access, shared drive permissions, and security groups based on the employee's role.
• Device preparation. Configure laptops, desktops, phones, printers, security tools, updates, and required applications before the employee starts.
• Communication tools. Prepare phone extensions, voicemail, call routing, collaboration apps, and remote access when needed.
• Documentation. Track what was created, assigned, configured, and handed off so support is easier after the first day.

Secure offboarding for departing employees

• Preserve business information. Back up or transfer important files, mailbox data, shared folders, and project materials.
• Redirect communication. Forward email, reassign phone extensions, update voicemail, and route client communication to the right person.
• Recover and reset equipment. Retrieve devices, wipe or repurpose hardware, and prepare equipment for future use.
