When should the Joiner process be initiated?

The Joiner process should be initiated after the hire date to ensure that the necessary identity and access management protocols are effectively set in motion. This timing allows the organization to gather and process all required information regarding the new hire, ensuring that proper access to systems and resources is aligned with their role.

Starting the process after the hire date allows for any last-minute adjustments to be accommodated, such as changes in job position or responsibilities. It also provides a clear delineation that ensures all onboarding activities are completed in due time, thereby enhancing compliance and security measures.

Initiating the Joiner process on the hire date or before may lead to premature provisioning of access, which can create security vulnerabilities if the hire does not proceed as expected or if changes arise. Ensuring the process begins after the actual hire date aligns the access provisioning with the organization’s policies and reduces risks.
