What is Employee Lifecycle Management?

Employee lifecycle management (ELM) refers to various stages that an employee goes through when working for a company. HR's position in ELM is critical, and it starts even before the employee is hired. There are usually six stages in ELM namely outreach, recruiting, onboarding, growth and training, results, and offboarding. The ELM process includes how the company introduces itself, how it deals with candidates, how it invites people into the company, and how it handles their personal and professional growth.
