How Can DaaS Simplify Joiners & Leavers?

  • IT Solutions

Managing staff changes is a constant for modern organisations. New starters need fast, seamless access to the right devices, employees with role changes need new tech to keep up, and leavers must be offboarded securely to protect company data. A Device as a Service (DaaS) model helps organisations handle these transitions smoothly, efficiently, and without unnecessary cost.

Device as a Service

What do joiners and leavers mean in IT?

In every organisation, employees come and go.

  • Joiners are new hires who need devices quickly so they can start working without delay.
  • Leavers are departing employees whose devices must be returned, securely wiped, and prepared for reuse.

These processes directly affect data security, work culture, operational efficiency, and IT workload. When handled poorly, they create risk, cost, and frustration.

Why do these processes often go wrong?

Many organisations struggle with joiner‑and‑leaver workflows because they involve multiple teams, manual steps, and tight timelines. Common issues include:

  • Devices not ready on day one
  • Delays in retrieving equipment from leavers
  • Incomplete or inconsistent data wiping
  • Lost or untracked devices
  • Unnecessary purchases due to poor reuse
  • Extra complexity for hybrid or remote workers

A structured, scalable approach is essential, and that’s where DaaS makes a difference.

Joiners and leavers

How does DaaS streamline joiners and leavers?

  • Effortless onboarding: New starters receive ready‑to‑use devices, pre‑configured for their role on day one.
  • Secure offboarding: Devices from leavers are collected, data‑wiped, and processed with audit-ready reports.
  • Flexible allocation: Devices can be reassigned or repurposed as teams change, reducing waste.
  • Cost‑effective: Organisations avoid unnecessary hardware by reusing existing assets.
  • Time‑efficient: IT teams are available to support the company rather than manual setups and decommissioning.
  • Agile and responsive: Workforce changes are handled quickly and consistently with ease.
  • Designed for hybrid and remote teams: Home delivery and remote pickup support distributed workforces, with full asset visibility available.

DaaS Joiners and Leavers

How does this support hybrid and remote teams?

Modern teams are no longer tied to a single location. A DaaS model supports distributed workforces through:

  • Home delivery for new joiners
  • Secure remote pickup for leavers
  • Full visibility into device status, location, and assignment
  • Consistent processes across all sites and regions

This ensures every employee, wherever they work, receives the same reliable experience.

Frequently asked questions

  • What does DaaS mean for joiners and leavers?

    It means fully managed device provisioning and recovery. Devices are delivered to new employees and collected from departing ones, with secure handling throughout.

  • What security measures are taken when someone leaves?

    Every device goes through certified data wiping, audit‑logged reporting, and either reuse or sustainable recycling.

  • Can I track which devices are assigned to which employees?

    Yes. A central portal provides full visibility, status tracking, and reassignment tools.

  • How does this work for remote or multi‑site teams?

    Logistics partners support secure home or office delivery and pickup, ensuring consistent processes across all locations.

  • How does DaaS reduce costs in joiner‑and‑leaver workflows?

    By enabling reuse, reducing device loss, preventing unnecessary spend, and lowering the operational burden on IT teams.
