The process of employees joining as well as resigning from an organization should be conducted with a smooth process. On the one hand, it should be ensured that the employees are briefed and the required licenses, as well as certificate copies, should be attained at the time of joining. On the other hand, in case of the employee's resignation all the company documents, as well as information, should be retrieved from them. Moreover, company equipment such as laptops, gadgets, and many other aspects should be procured back from the employees who are reliving the organization.
