I'm creating documentation that describes both the process of onboarding new team members (e.g. creating accounts for required resources, locating, installing and configuring required software, finding the right person to talk to for a particular request), and also the process of offboarding departing members (e.g. revoking access to resources, ensuring completed work is stored in an appropriate location).
Ideally I'd like to arrange this documentation in a hierarchy, where these two processes seem to naturally sit under headings of "onboarding" and "offboarding," or in simpler English, "joining" and "leaving."
I'm looking for something that would be a top-level (umbrella) term to place both these headings under – descriptiveness is more important than brevity.
I'd rather avoid things like "HR Processes" as these contain things that the new team members, and other team members need to do that don't really feel to me like they fit under human resources' purview.
Obviously I could just use a heading like "Onboarding/Offboarding" but if there's a suitable umbrella term I'd much rather use that.

In my work places we've used 'transition,' 'transition process' or 'workplace transition' as an umbrella for both terms.
If the changes all relate to the same type of positions (employees, contractors, interns, etc..) then it could be 'employee transition'
Hope that helps (albeit belatedly).
