HR to ITSM

People in the service desk and tickets for onboarding and offboarding, from HR

An HR-to-service-desk integration keeps people, departments and locations current in TOPdesk, ServiceNow, Freshservice or Jira Service Management, and automatically creates a ticket or request with start date, job, manager and location for every new hire, job change or departure. KoppelHet builds this from AFAS, Visma Raet YouForce, HR2day, Workday and other HR systems.

Topics

Everything about HR to the service desk

An integration from HR to the service desk keeps people, departments and locations current and prepares a ticket for every hire, job change and departure. Below, per topic, what goes into the service desk, where it goes wrong and which choices you make beforehand.

The situation

The service desk hears about a new hire through a loose email, sometimes only in the week of the start, and puts a ticket together itself. On departure nobody creates a ticket, so the laptop does not come back and accounts stay open. Meanwhile the service desk lists people who left long ago.

International: Global service desk with a local HR source.

What the integration does

  • Onboarding ticket or request before the start date, with job, manager, location and what IT needs to prepare
  • Offboarding ticket before the last working day: return the laptop, revoke access
  • Change ticket for a new job or department, for access and equipment
  • People with department, job, manager and location, as the basis for every ticket
  • Departments and locations

Edge cases we handle

  • Start date moves after the onboarding ticket exists
  • Contract extension or follow-on employment: no offboarding
  • Existing employees get no ticket at go-live
  • People who are also operators in the service desk
  • Archiving instead of deleting on departure

Integrations for this process

  • Enterprise HR, International mid-market HR, Dutch HR and payroll to ITSM and service desk

Farmplus uses Visma YouServe as the source for Active Directory. For a new hire or a leaver the integration creates a service request in Freshservice, and mobile numbers from TOPdesk reach Active Directory through Joinly.

Gemeente Geertruidenberg has Visma Raet YouForce create calls in TOPdesk automatically. Four weeks before a start date there is an onboarding call, a week before a departure an offboarding call, and a change call when someone gets a new role or department.

Frequently asked questions

Can we also have tickets created for onboarding and offboarding?

Yes. By default an onboarding ticket arrives four weeks before the start date, an offboarding ticket one week before the last working day, and a change ticket for a new job or department. The ticket refers to the employee from the people sync and goes to the operator group you choose; we set the lead times per customer.

Will we get duplicate tickets?

No. KoppelHet remembers per employee which tickets already exist: one onboarding ticket per hire and one offboarding ticket per end date. If the end date moves, a ticket for the new date follows.

What happens at go-live with existing employees?

The first run only records the current state and creates no tickets. After that only new events lead to a ticket. In test mode you see in advance which tickets would be created, without creating them.

Are leavers deleted?

No, we archive them. The history of calls is preserved.
