In today’s rapidly evolving digital workplace, the shift towards remote work has become more than just a trend—it’s a new norm. This transformation significantly increases the number of applications each employee uses as cloud-based solutions increase across industries. This surge in apps and remote working arrangements has introduced unprecedented complexity into the IT landscape, presenting unique challenges for businesses worldwide.

Managing the employee lifecycle is one of the most critical challenges for businesses worldwide. Each phase requires meticulous attention and precision, from onboarding new hires to transitioning roles and eventually offboarding. The traditional methods of handling these processes are becoming increasingly inadequate, often leading to inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and a strain on IT resources.

 

Understanding Employee Lifecycle Management

Employee Lifecycle Management (ELM) refers to businesses’ comprehensive approach to managing their employees’ journey within the organization. This journey encompasses several key stages, each critical to both the employee’s experience and the company’s overall health.

 

Key Stages of Employee Lifecycle Management

• Onboarding: The process of integrating a new employee into the company, ensuring they have the necessary tools, information, and connections to start their journey effectively.
• Offboarding: This stage involves managing their exit respectfully and securely when employees leave the company.
• Promotions, Transitions, and Transfers: These stages deal with the changes in an employee’s role, responsibilities, or location within the company, requiring adjustments in access and resources.

 

Benefits of Automation in Employee Lifecycle Management

• Efficiency: Automated systems streamline processes, reducing the time and effort from IT teams to manage employee transitions.
• Accuracy: Automation minimizes human error, ensuring precise employee data and resource allocation.
• Security: Automated ELM enhances security by ensuring timely access revocation during offboarding and appropriate access during role changes.
• Productivity: By giving new or transferred employees access to the applications they need on their first day of the new job allows for a better employee onboarding experience and ability to start contributing to the business sooner.
