THEOffboarding, English term (whose opposite is onboarding), consists of all the actions to be taken to ensure the departure of an employee from your company, in the best possible conditions.

In a context that can be full of stress, and while your teams can be overwhelmed by strong emotions, bringing a well-structured and clear framework to your offboarding greatly reduces this perceived stress. 😧
However, according to a study, 71% of organizations do not have a formalized offboarding process.
Best practice: set up a Saas tool for formalizing and managing your IT offboarding.
Guarantee your computer security
Nothing is more important today than your business data.
The costs associated with cyberattacks and data loss are exploding. And an employee who is fired is not always in a benevolent state of mind towards his former employer.
According to a survey conducted by the company Cyber Ark, 88% of IT employees say that they would steal sensitive data if their company fired them.
You must therefore ensure that offboarding an employee does not endanger your IT systems and the confidential data they contain. 👮
Best practice: secure the identification information of an employee upon departure and verify the important data to be protected.
Earn money by upgrading iT equipment
It is not always possible to reassign the computer or smartphone of an employee who has left your company.
For example, this hardware may no longer meet the needs of your team.
If this is the case, you can benefit from offers to take back this computer equipment, via our platform. 💶
Best practice: use a solution that facilitates the revaluation of the employee's IT equipment upon departure.
Save time on deprovisioning devices
An employee has just left your company. His machine is on his desk... what to do with it? It can be used by another employee, or put into stock for later use.
But before that, you must first reset the machine, change application passwords, uninstall or reinstall software, etc.
This can take up to 2 to 3 hours per machine!
Our opinion is that your IT team has better things to do than spend precious time on an activity that brings nothing to your professional activity. 😓
Best practice: use a solution that automatically takes care of the return operations of computer machines.
All these best practices are naturally present within the Rzilient offer, so don't hesitate any longer:
