# How can a growing company make sure every account, license and device is handled when someone leaves?

When a leaving date is confirmed in the HR system, automation pulls every system, group, license and device linked to the person and builds one dated checklist with an owner for each removal and handover. Handover of files and accounts is agreed with the manager before anything is removed, IT owners remove access themselves or approve each automated removal, and overdue steps trigger reminders. HR and IT sign off the completed checklist, which leaves a clear record of what was removed and when.

## What this means in practice

- Start the checklist when the leaving date is confirmed in HR.
- List every system, group, license and device linked to the person.
- Give each removal and handover an owner and a date.
- Agree handover with the manager before access is removed.
- Have HR and IT sign off the completed checklist.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [Employee offboarding and access removal](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/employee-offboarding-access-removal/): When someone leaves, build one offboarding checklist from the systems they used, track every access removal and equipment return, and give IT and HR a clear record that nothing was missed.
