Why a Handover Checklist?
When a laptop moves from one employee to another, both the departing and arriving employees need a clean transition. Data must be transferred, the device must be sanitised, and the registry must be updated.
Handover Steps
- Back up departing employee's data
- Transfer file ownership to manager or successor
- Wipe personal data from the laptop
- Reinstall or refresh OS if needed
- Update asset registry with new assigned user
- Issue new accessories if needed
- Get acknowledgment from receiving employee
