Employee Lifecycle Automation (JML)
Automated onboarding, internal moves, and offboarding
The JML (Joiner-Mover-Leaver) process spans HR, IT, and management, creating one of the most difficult workflows to manage. Manual handling creates bottlenecks, slows down new starters, and creates serious security risks when offboarding is incomplete.
We use Microsoft Power Platform to automate the entire employee lifecycle. When HR adds a new starter, automated workflows handle everything from account creation to training schedules.
Joiner (Onboarding):
- Microsoft 365 account and email creation
- Teams and SharePoint access provisioning
- Equipment ordering and tracking
- Training schedule distribution
- Manager and team notifications
- Welcome pack and document generation
Mover (Internal Transfers):
- Access rights adjustment for new role
- Department and manager updates across systems
- Training requirements for new position
- Equipment reallocation if needed
Leaver (Offboarding):
- Account disabling across all systems
- Access revocation and security audit
- Equipment return tracking
- Knowledge handover task assignment
- Exit interview scheduling
- Compliance documentation
What's Included:
- Current JML process mapping and gap analysis
- Microsoft Entra ID integration (for automated provisioning)
- Power Automate workflow design and implementation
- Integration with your HR system (if applicable)
- Custom approval workflows for sensitive access
- Power BI dashboard for JML metrics and compliance reporting
- Admin training and documentation
- 60 days post-launch support
Typical Results:
- 90%+ reduction in onboarding time, from days to hours
- Zero ex-employees with lingering system access
- Complete audit trail for compliance reviews
- IT team freed from repetitive provisioning tasks
- New starters ready to work from day one
Best For:
Professional services firms with compliance requirements (legal, accountancy, financial services), recruitment agencies with high staff turnover, growing businesses adding 5+ employees per year, any organisation struggling with manual HR/IT handoffs.
