Handing over IT equipment to employees

During employee onboarding, you must prepare and equip new employee with various IT equipment, such as personal computer, laptop, mobile phone, monitor or other IT equipment need for the job. New arrival also needs access to company software, systems and applications. It encompasses the process of providing the equipment and ensuring that the employee acknowledges receipt and understands how to use it effectively. 

  • During onboarding equip employees with the necessary IT equipment, software licences and login access for their job.
  • Also, at any time during employment, you must have proof of the transfer or entrustment of that employee's work equipment. 

Ideally paperless

Digital handover of IT equipment or other assets has many advantages. It speeds up processes and removes paper bureaucracy, plus you have an overview of who has what at any given time and the employee can see all the information in their self-service portal at a glance. 

  • Use digital paperless handover
  • The employee can see all the issued IT equipment on his self-service home page
