Employee onboarding and offboarding are processes that occur at opposite ends of the employment lifecycle. When employing new employees and letting them exit a company, an organized procedure should be followed. On the one hand, it's critical to make sure that new recruits are informed and have copies of the specified licenses and certificates. If, on the other hand, an employee resigns, all corporate records and knowledge must be obtained from them. Many businesses put tons of effort into their onboarding process to make sure new employees have the tools and support they have to suit however, few people expend the same amount of effort when someone leaves a company. More and more businesses are realizing that loyalty does not have to cease when employees decide to depart. Employees today have more freedom and flexibility to pursue new possibilities without burning bridges with their current employers.
Offboarding is the final step in an employee's lifecycle, and a well-planned offboarding program can help employers avoid difficulties and smooth the leave process for both parties.
There are companies that specialize in onboarding systems, and every significant HR software system contains an onboarding module. One other component of an employee management system is offboarding software. Onboarding new employees and offboarding them share several similarities. Each procedure involves acts including salary, benefits, various legal documents, the issue or revocation of keys, badges, IT equipment, and network access, among other things.
