WORKPLACE TECHNOLOGY

People. Devices. A connected working day.

A useful technology plan connects the way people work with the systems and support behind them.

People

Start with roles, daily workflows and the help your team needs.

Devices

Bring access, business applications and working tools together.

Operations

Define ownership, maintenance and the next improvements.

Your starting point · scope and responsibilities

START WITH THE BUSINESS NEED

Make the technology work for your people.

A hiring or departure email rarely contains everything IT needs. Missed approvals, inherited permissions, unreturned equipment, and unclear information ownership create avoidable work. A shared workflow gives each event a trigger, an owner, and a completion record.

Prepare for day one

Bring approved accounts, applications, devices, and joining instructions into a checklist linked to the employee’s role and start date.

Keep access aligned with roles

Review what should be added, changed, or removed when a person moves teams or responsibilities instead of allowing permissions to accumulate.

Close the loop on departures

Coordinate access removal, asset recovery, license decisions, and approved information handover with clear business ownership.

WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH

Practical capabilities. Defined responsibilities.

01

HR and IT request workflows

Define authorized requesters, required information, approval steps, effective dates, and escalation for urgent changes. Use a reliable HR or manager trigger as the basis for action.

02

Role-based onboarding

Coordinate identity setup, approved group and application access, license assignment, device preparation, and employee instructions using reviewed role templates. Connect supported Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, or JumpCloud workflows with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and business applications.

03

Role and location changes

Review existing and requested permissions when responsibilities change. Update group membership, applications, equipment needs, and reporting relationships through approved steps.

04

Coordinated offboarding

Schedule account and application access changes, session revocation where supported, device actions, and equipment return. Track systems requiring separate vendor or administrator action.

05

Business information and records

Coordinate approved ownership transfer, mailbox or file access, knowledge handover, retention, and eventual disposition. Confirm business, legal, and policy requirements before deleting accounts or data.

FROM DISCOVERY TO DELIVERY

A considered path forward.

Map people and systems

Identify HR triggers, approving managers, identity sources, applications, device processes, and information owners.

Design role-based workflows

Agree required steps, timing, permissions, exceptions, handover rules, and completion evidence for each lifecycle event.

Pilot with responsible teams

Walk through joining, role-change, and departure scenarios with HR, IT, and application owners.

Operate and reconcile

Track completed actions, investigate gaps, and periodically reconcile people, access, licenses, and assigned equipment.

Know what success means.

Before work begins, agree on the scope, responsible owners, acceptance criteria, and handover requirements. We’ll discuss the evidence and documentation relevant to your project during discovery.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before we get started.

Does this replace our HR platform?

No. The workflow connects authorized workforce information with IT actions. Your HR process remains the source for employment decisions, while managers and application owners approve the access and equipment appropriate to each role.

Can every onboarding or offboarding action be automated?

Automation depends on reliable source data, supported integrations, licensing, and clear approval rules. Some applications, physical assets, and information transfers need manual action. The workflow should track those steps alongside automated tasks.

What happens to a departing employee’s files and email?

Access removal and information deletion are separate decisions. An authorized owner should approve any handover, delegated access, retention, and eventual disposition. Relevant holds and company policies must be considered before accounts or business data are deleted.

How are urgent departures or same-day hires handled?

Agree an urgent request path, identity checks for the requester, required approvals, and the order of critical actions. The workflow should record incomplete steps and dependencies clearly. Actual response coverage and timing belong in the service agreement.

Can contractors and temporary workers use the same process?

They can follow a related workflow with a sponsor, defined access, an end date, and a review or renewal step. Equipment ownership and information handover may differ from employees, so the workflow should make those distinctions explicit.
