Employee offboarding — why it matters
Offboarding is the process a company carries out when an employee leaves. Poorly handled offboarding can mean security risks, loss of know-how or legal complications.
Offboarding is the process a company carries out when an employee leaves. Poorly handled offboarding can mean security risks, loss of know-how or legal complications.
Offboarding includes all the steps associated with ending an employment relationship — from handing over the agenda and removing access through administrative formalities (exit documents, work certificates, confirmation of employment) to the exit interview. The goal is a safe and professional end to the cooperation with minimal impact on the running of the company.
Just like onboarding, offboarding can be managed through a checklist in the HRIS — triggering the process when the end of the employment relationship is recorded automatically assigns tasks to IT, the manager and HR.
An IT specialist leaves the company. Three months later it turns out they still have active access to the production server and the company GitHub repository. No one managed the offboarding systematically — IT removed access only on direct request, not automatically.
Does anyone who left still have active access?
Offboarding in Speybl runs as a checklist — access, equipment and documents get ticked off, not chased down.
