Someone has to understand what access is needed, check whether the employee is eligible, collect missing information, trigger an approval, update an identity platform, record the request in the ITSM system, and tell the employee when it is complete.

Aug 20, 2026 By Deepa Majumder In Workativ
A hiring manager sends HR a simple request: “Maya starts next Monday. Can you make sure everything is ready?” The request sounds straightforward. The work behind it is not.
