How To

Reduce HR and IT Workload by Hibob to Okta Directory synchronization

Use Cases

Based on employee offboarding statistics, 70% of companies have not implemented a formal offboarding process.

The Ponemon Institute estimates that a lost, unencrypted laptop costs organizations an average of $49,246 due to data breaches. Meanwhile, HR professionals already spend 40-60% of their week on administrative tasks, with offboarding adding a significant burden to their workload.

This is why making a shift towards automation is a necessity.

The Advantages of HiBob to Okta Directory Synchronization

Hibob lets you create automated workflows for key HR processes like onboarding, performance reviews, and off-boarding. Along with data-driven insight capabilities, it supports payroll management across multiple locations.

1. Reduced manual work: With this synchronization, HR and IT teams would no longer be burdened by manual tasks for employee onboarding and offboarding. Any changes to employee attributes in Hibob would directly sync to Okta Directory, resulting in the timely addition and removal of employees.

2. Preventing orphaned accounts: Streamlining workforce identity lifecycle management with Hibob helps prevent issues like data breaches caused by orphaned accounts. Automating the joiner-mover-leaver cycle eliminates orphaned accounts and reduces the cost of unused software licenses.

3. Timely Terminations: You can create rulesets to automate the timely removal of access for employees during offboarding. This gives HR the bandwidth to focus on more strategic tasks.

Challenges of Manually Synchronizing HiBob with Okta Directory

While building Hibob to Okta Directory integration manually is always an option, it often comes at the cost of productivity and time, causing delays.

Let’s explore why manual synchronization isn’t a viable option:

Time-consuming: Manually working around creating identities is a tedious process; it requires creating identities required for the organization and copying and editing them manually in scenarios of any change in the employee’s lifecycle.

Error Prone: Manual data entries are susceptible to mistakes, like inaccuracy, duplicate entries, and inconsistencies.

Reporting Inconsistencies: Inaccurate data and human error can hinder correct reporting and decision-making, hampering an organization’s growth.
