Employee Lifecycle Management (ELM) is a process for administering employee data during all stages of their employment (hiring, on-boarding, transferring, retiring or off-boarding). Transferring from one stage to the other is always susceptible to errors, data loss and data inconsistency. A well implemented ELM reduces the negative impact caused by transfers and changes of employee status to a minimum and feeds lessons learned about common mistakes back into the organization and processes. When you talk about Employee Lifecycle Management you talk to a great extent about Identity and Access Management (IAM). IAM is more than just an IT acronym; it is the basis for ELM in a modern, global and scalable enterprise. IAM can save you money by enabling fast, reliable, secure and cost efficient business and workflow processes. Nowadays, optimized administrative processes are the basis for competitiveness in supporting functions. Bad implemented or unmanaged IAM can be the source of high costs and hence enforce the pressure for outsourcing. There are several technological solutions to implement IAM on the market. This book will only skim them and provide an overview as merely buying a tool is not the solution. The integration of a tool would miss the potential benefits of fully integrated IAM by far. If you ask yourself questions like What is the business case? Can you really save money with IAM? What are other benefits? What are the pitfalls? What are the consequences of doing nothingRead this material and you will get answers to most of your questions regarding ELM and IAM. The big dilemma we are facing today, mainly in regulated industries (healthcare, banking, aviation industry).
