Employee Onboarding Swimlane BPMN
An employee onboarding swimlane diagram shows which team owns each preparation step before a new hire starts. HR collects employee details, IT creates access and prepares equipment, and the manager plans the first week before orientation is complete. The lanes make the dependencies visible: equipment cannot be prepared without the right employee details, and the manager needs access and logistics ready for the first day. Add payroll, facilities, security, or mentor tasks only when those teams participate in the real process. The diagram is a practical coordination map for the team, not an employment checklist or a substitute for policy. Update it when responsibilities or onboarding procedures change.
