Equipment Reassignment Checklist

The reassignment of existing equipment takes place when employees leave the organization or receive new computers, mobile devices, printers and other assets.

It is essential to follow strict guidelines for equipment reassignment so that company investments, data and privacy are protected.

The following checklist, written by Scott Matteson for TechRepublic Premium, will help ensure that all the appropriate steps are taken.

Check out our Equipment Reassignment Policy, which explains each of these procedures in detail.

Featured text from the glossary:

If the current user of the equipment is leaving the organization, ensure that all equipment has been returned to the IT department before the user’s departure and log this acquisition within the asset management software.

If the current user of the equipment is NOT leaving the organization, locate and retrieve the device(s) from the employee’s work area and log this acquisition within the asset management software.
