How to Track Employee Equipment and System Access

To track employee equipment and access, both have to connect to the person. A list of laptops and a list of accounts answer different questions from the one that matters.

Why this goes untracked

Each item is granted separately, by a different person.

  • Equipment issued without a record
  • System access granted individually and never reviewed
  • Departures leaving both unaccounted for
  • No way to answer what one person holds

What the record needs

  • Connected to the employee, so the question is answerable
  • Item or system, with a clear identifier
  • Issue date, and a due date where applicable
  • Condition evidence, for physical items
  • Status, so returns and revocations are visible

How to set it up in Jestor

  1. Create allocations and access tables in Jestor, both connected to employees.
  2. Record issue dates, and due dates for anything temporary.
  3. Attach condition photos for physical equipment at issue and return.
  4. Surface both on the employee card, filtered and read-only.
  5. Include both in the offboarding checklist, with owners per item.

Why choose Jestor for people-linked assets?

Because everything connects to the employee record in Jestor, the question "what does this person hold and reach" is one card rather than three systems.

Including both in the offboarding checklist with named owners is what turns a departure from a set of things someone should remember into a tracked process.
